We have a sql 2005 server with 8GB of RAM. Task Manager shows that it only has 198,250k (about 200 MB) of Physical Memory available. I wonder if that number should be higher.
What can I check (Perfmon counters? Which ones?) to indicate it that's too little RAM, the right amount, or too much.
Thanks,

Is there an alert for physical memory in SQL2K5? My requirement is - I should get an alert when the free space on a particular drive comes below a threshhold.

My server has 16GB RM but it is using only 3GB. And I see my server is using 3GB of Virtual Memory, too. Why my physical memory is not being utilized? How can I increase Physical Memory usage and decrease VM usage?

We are currently running a server with standard edition Windows Server 2003 R2 with standard edition SQL Server 2005 SP2.
The server has 4GB of memory of which 3GB is dedicated to SQL and 1GB to the OS via the use of the /3GB switch.
If we were to increase the physical memory to 12GB (and carve out 2GB for the OS and 10GB for SQL) would we have to upgrade the OS to Enterprise version to access the additional 8GB of memory we plan to add?
Thanks ALL!
We have Windows Server 2008R2 installed on VM Server.On that we have three SQL instances running. From few past months we are observing physical memory is going high. Earlier we observed it was at 86-88%, now it is 96-97%.We have 16RAM & 8 CPU cores on VM. what is the best and ideal configuration so that we can rectify the high physical memory issue.

Could it be down to not having enough memory? But would this not show in the advisor?

I've been researching AWE to determine if we should enable this for our environment.
Currently we have a quad core box with 4 gb of RAM (VMware). OS: Windows 2003 std, SQL Server 2005 std. 3GB is not set but will be as soon as we can perform maintenance on the server.
I have read mixed feedback on AWE, either it works great or grinds you to a hault. I would assume that the grinding to a hault is due to not setting the min/max values correctly or not enabling the lock page in memory setting.
We only have one instance of SQL on the server and this box won't be used for anything else aside from hosting SQL services. We do plan on running SSRS off of this server as well.
1. Will running SSRS and enabling AWE cause me problems? Will I have to reduce the max setting by the SSRS memory usage or will it share and play nice?
2. How do I go about setting the Max value? Should it be less than the physical RAM in the box? Right now its set to the default of 214748364, even if I don't enable AWE should this default value be changed?
3. It seems that even at idle the SQL server holds a lot of memory and the page file grows. If I restart the process in the morning, memory usage in taskmon is at 600mb or so. By the end of the day, its up around 2gb. How can I track down whats causing this, should this even concern me?
4. The lock Page in memory setting worries me. Everything I've read on this seems to give a warning about serious OS and other program support degradation. In some cases to the point where they have to restore the settings on the server before they can bring it back up. What are your thoughts on this.
I have a Windows sever 2012 with sql server 2012 enterprise. Ram size is 22GB. Sometimes SQL sever takes 95% memory.My question, How to reduce memory size without killing any process because it's production server.So there are many background process is running. And,Is there any guides to learn why Memory is raise d so high and how to reduce it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedHello, I understand that we should use SSMS -> Server Properties -> Memory to put a cap on the SQL server memory usage, therefore it gives some space memory for OS, this is based on the fact if the max memory is not specified, SQL will use whatever available memory and eventually crash the system.
My question is that when a server has SSIS and SSAS services installed along with the SQL service. Would the max memory setting covers the SSIS and SSAS memory usage, or the SSIS and SSAS has to shared the memory with OS?
Thanks,

I am running Visual Studio 2005. I have an SSIS Package which is consuming a huge amount of memory. During the execution of the package the memory keeps increasing. Until finally i get an Out of Memory exception. I have run this package using dtexec, and in the BIDS. No difference. I do have some script components and have added some code to get the assemblies in the current appdomain. I do see that one particular assembly is increasing on every loop. VBAssembly every time it hits the script component is increasing by 6, and along with it the memory is climbing. What is this VBAssembly being used for is there an update to SQL Server Integration Services that I need?
Thanks! Aaron B.
sql server 2000 is running on windows server 2003 ... 4gb of memory on server .... 2003 was allocated 2.3gb nd sql server was allocated (and using all of it) 1.6gb for total of approx 4gb based on idera monitor software ... all memory allocated betweeen the OS and sql server .... then 4 more gb of memory added for total now of 8g ... now idera monitor shows 1.7gb for OS and 1.0 gb for sql server ..... 'system' info shows 8gb memory with PAE ... so I assume that the full 8gb can now be addressed .... why are less resources being used now with more total memory .... especially sql server ..... i thought about specifying a minimum memmry for sql server but i amnot convinced that would even work since it seems that this 1gb limit is artificial .... it it used 1.6 gb before why would it not use at least that much now ??
thank you

Hi,
I am going to install SQL Server 2000 (then SQL 2K5) on a Win Server 2K3 with 8 GB of ram, but it will be 16 GB in the near future.
I would like to reserve a fixed memory (for momemt less than 3-4 GB) for SQL Server and the rest for application (virtualization).
Without AWE enabled, max memory for SQL Server 2K5 is 4GB as for SQL Server 2000?
How can I manage and optimize memory keeping in mind AWE. (any doc, website available?)

Can anyone inform me how I would go about merging or combining 2 or more physical database files into 1. For example, suppose you have the following files out on your server:
c:mssql7datapubs_data1.mdf
c:mssql7datapubs_data2.ndf
c:mssql7datapubs_data3.ndf
but you only want
c:mssql7datapubs_data1.mdf
Is there any way to combine pubs_data2.ndf and pubs_data3.ndf into pubs_data1.mdf so you are only left with 1 database file called pubs_data1.mdf?
Thank you,
PJ
I know how to modify the logical file name: ALTER DATABASE SATutorial

Hi! I have an SQL server installation with a 6.5GB database online at a particular location. I need to move the Database to another location which is a 1000 Miles away.
I have an additional physical Server at the other location which I can use to Sync the database from the original location. Can anyone please guide me to the best strategy to sync the database from the original location to the new location with minimum downtime??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone explain to me how a column defined with a "bit null" datatype is physically stored in MSSQL? Is it stored like a "tinyint null" physically? In other words, how many bytes on the row on the page does a "bit null" datatype consume (assuming a non-null value 0, or 1 is the current value).
Is there any good documentation about the physical storage layout for a data page?

Hi,
I have a new server where 32GB of RAM is installed and I have user databases on this server.I am using SQL server 2000 Enterprise edition and Platform is Windows 2003 adv server, which supports upto 128GB of memory.
sp_configure 'awe enabled' is set to 1 and at OS level, AWE is enabled as well.
max server memory (MB) is 2147483647
I was doing some stress test on this server but memory usage doesn't go beyond 180MB....can someone suggest a test for physical RAM ?
How can I make sure that application will make full use of available physical memory?

we have:
(1) one physical server :
OS : Windows Server 2003
Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, File Server, Print Server and SQL Server 2005
and we will install new (2) two server for High Availability with VMware vSphere (ESXi) 6.0
and we will have (2) two Virtual Machine :
1st VM :
OS : Windows Server 2012 R2
Active Directory, DNS, DHCP
2nd VM :
OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 (becaure SQL Server 2005 does not work with 2012 R2 link)
SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3
My Question is : What is a safe method to Migrate Database's from Physical Host (Windows Server 2003) to 2nd VM ?
I may be put on a project involving the migration of a SQL Server 2000 database from one physical location to another. I've never done something like this so any guidance would be appreciated.
My plan is to:
1. Backup the live database.
2. Do a restoration at the new location.
3. Set up transactional replication between the two databases.
4. Update records to point to the new db.
Are there any problems with doing it this way? Is there a better solution? I am trying to do this without any downtime, or as little as possible.
Thanks for any help.

So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
Hello frnds Can Anybody explai what does it mean by question itself and how to resole it ?
