Hi! I am experiencing a problem I can not resolve. I am doing a bunch of inserts(over 200000) into my SQL Server 2000. I'd rather use bcp or bulk insert, but in this case I can't. After I am
done the SQL2000 does not release the memory it grabbed for several hours. I did not have patience to wait more than 12 hrs. After I stop the SQL Service service, all the memory is released.

Is there anything I can do to release the memory as soon as I am done inserts? Is there
a command I can invoke programmatically to do so? Am I missing smth?

Any suggestions/fixes are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

P.S. I am doing my tests on a Pentium III MHz
512 MB RDRAM SCSI-3 machine that's very fast and powerfull
