Setting Max Server Memory In 64 Bit Machine
Dec 21, 2007
I am running SQL 2005 Standard under Windows 2003 Standard with 8 GB of RAM in one of our 64 bit servers; I noticed min server memory was set for some reason to 128 MB and max server memory to 6114 MB by the previous DBA. We plan to upgrade it to 32 GB. What is the best approach when changing those values ? Should I change those values to the defaults (0 - 2147483647) or create min and max boundaries? . This box is only utilzed by SQL.
Also I know that those changes are reconfigured dynamically so no need to reboot, but would this place any performance hit in the server and should I use Management studio or sp_configure ? (for some reason I don't trust Management studio for these type of changes :))
Thanks,
Carlos

I have a SQL Server 2014 installation on a server (CHRIS-PCCHRISSQL).I have SQL Server 2014 management studio installed on local server called Pootle.I have gone through the configuration on server (CHRIS-PCCHRISSQL) inc the following:
(1) I have set up a user on CHRIS-PCCHRISSQL called sqladminuser at server level with the Server Roles of 'Public' and 'SysAdmin'
(2) The computers are both on the same homegroup.
(3) On Chris-PC , I have opened up the firewall port 1433 as Inbound Rule
(4) On Chris-PC, Within SQL Server Configuration Manager,the 'SQL Server Network Configuration for Protocols for CHRISSQL' have been set up as follows:
- The TCP protocol is enabled
- I have set up IP2
as follows:
Active: Yes
Enabled: No
IP Addres: 192.168.0.3
However when I try to connect from SQL Server Management Studio 2014 on my local machine Pootle to Chris-PCCHRISSQL using SQL Server Authentication with the user sqladminuser
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.

I have an issue with my production server regarding memory usage (Memory Utilization is above 95%.). Memory is : 12 GB and the service that is consuming the majority of memory 88%/10.5GB is sqlserver.exe. So it would appear that MSSQL is not set to restrict the amount of memory it uses ? How much should I set for min and max memory ? the defauld is min memory : 0 and max : 2 TB

I am curious about maximum memory setting .
Should we set maximum memory setting for each SQL server? For example a server has 6 GB memory then should we set maximum memory setting = 3.5 GB ?

Hi,
I am testing SQL 2005 Standard (32 bit) on a Windows 2003 Server 64 bit with 8GB of RAM? Should I enable the AWP Setting or not and should I change the maximum server memory (currently saying 2GB)?
Thanks!

We have several 2005 servers with "Maximum server memory" set to 214 gig, which I believe is the default at installation time. I am told that this means "use all the memory there is including paging." Well, this is nuts but the servers seem to work fine with this setting no matter how much physical memory they have.
One of our 2005 servers recently started paging like crazy, so I reduced "Maximum server memory" to 6000 and the paging disappeared (server has 8 gig of physical memory) and the server appears happy.
I can not explain why only this one server has this paging issue and the others do not. Should I be setting "Maximum server memory" on all my servers? Are there other considerations which might cause the server to eat-up all the memory? As far as I know no other applications run on this box.
Thanks,
Michael

I am using SQL 8 Personal edition with sp2 applied. I set the maxserver memory to 32MB and leave the min server memory at 0. When myapplication starts hitting the database hard the memory usage reportedthrough task manager peaks between 41-42MB. I've stopped and restartedthe MSSQLserver service and checked that the running values are what Iset them to be. Does anybody have any ideas as to why the sqlservr.exewould be utilizing more memory than the configured value?This message was posted some years ago but nobody answered. Now I havethe same problem! Does anybody have an explanation?Thanks a lot

I need to up the Maximum Memory setting.
Out of the box it is set to 2147483647 MB.
I assume this is ~2GB. I have been instructed
to set it to 1GB less than total server memory
which is 16GB. When I change the value
it just changes back.
How do I change it and how are these Megabyte
numbers calculated?
OS: Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise
SQL: SQL Server 2005 Standard

I have a client server that has win2000 on it with sql 2000 enterprise edition. The box has 4 gig of memory on it. I noticed today that the sql server was set to use all 4 gig (even though I know sql can't really access that memory because sql can't really utilize the 2-4 gig range). Is there overhead or a downside to leaving it at this, or should I set it to 2 gig

hi, here is the situation, my system has the following specks
hard drive = 45GB
memory = 1152 mb
Opsystem = win NT 4.0
application on the NT is ftp server and SQL server 6.5
I am having a tough time retrieving a simple query from a 11 million records.some of the feed back from the newsgroup is that I do not have enought memory. Is there a formula to use to figure out how much memory should allocate to the sql server? what if I allocated too much memory, does that affect the sql performance in a negative way?
Please help......

We have a SQL 2005 installed in Windows 2003 64 bit system, which has 16 CPU and 32GB RAM, but the performance is poor. SQL server is AWE enable and the sql start account with "Lock Pages In Memory". I checked the task manager and it looks that the SQL server used only about 300 MB memory. Here is what I found:

I would like to know what happens when a very large reference data set for a lookup transform with full caching enabled is getting loaded during package execution and the computer memory runs out or is very low.
Does SSIS
a) give an out of memory error of some sort
b) resort to a no caching or partial caching mode
c) maintain the full caching mode but will switch to using the paging file(virtual memory).
I think it will resort to using the page file in which case the benefits of in memory lookups are lost and performance would suffer. If I cannot upgrade the memory or shrink the reference set somehow, i should switch that lookup task to use partial caching or no caching with an indexed lookup table. Would this make sense?

Hi
I did a load testing and found the following observations:
1. The Memory:Pages/sec was crossing the limit beyond 20.
2. The Target Server Memory was always greater than Total Server Memory
Seeing the above data it seems to be memory pressure. But I found that AvailableMemory was always above 200 MB. Also Buffer Cache HitRatio was close to 99.99. What could be the reason for the above behavior?

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

Help!
I am using Script Transformation to output a new column as image[DT_IMAGE]
field to store serialized object. In the VB script, the sample code as
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData ( binaryArrayReturnedFromC#dll )
The package always runs fine on my developing machine and will halt on other
machine at AddBlobData after certain number row records were processed. I am
stuck here. Anyone has any suggestion?
What I need is reading data from mutiple tables in one database and writing
into a single table in another datable. In order preserve all the columns
data, I use input column fields to construct a new object and then serialize
it, and store the serialize data into detination db table. (The object and
serialization function is coming from c# dll.)
Dim b As BusinessLicense = New BusinessLicense()
b.ApprovalDate = Row.approvaldate
b.BusinessId = Row.busid
b.BusinessName = Row.busname
b.NaicsCode = Row.naicscode
b.NaicsDescription = Row.naicsdescr
b.OwnerName = Row.ownername
b.Phone = Row.phone
b.Pkey = Row.pkey
b.RenewalDate = Row.renewaldate
b.StartDate = Row.startdate
b.Suite = Row.suite
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData(Serializer.Serialize(b)) '''----This is blocking line
Row.infoType = BusinessLicense.TYPE
Both machine is xp with sp2. and standard SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06

Hi to everyone,
I'm facing a problem that drives me crazy. I've a web application that has the following problem. When I test the application on my developement machine all runs fine, but when I put into production server there is a problem in connection pooling. Look at the following image, the blue line is the number of connection in the pool and the violet line is the number of connection reclaimed. From the image it is clear that connection are returned on the pool only in block, maybe when the garbage collection pass and reclaim the object. The strange thing is that on my developement machine all is good, and also I'm using Enterprise Library and the connection are managed internally.- Thanks to everyone for any help.

Hullo all
I have two machines,
One is a standalone machine and the other is on a domain network. How can I run a stored procedure/job on the standalone machine from the domain machine ?
running the procedure as a Domain user results in a failed job/stored proc.
also creating an sql login and attempting to run it as that user also fails. How can I solve this problem ?
please e-mail me at wayde@sunnygrp.com if you have any thoughts...

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was any white papers on the migration part from microsoft?
Apparently the situation is like this
Currently installed MOSS 2007 in a testing pc as application server. This application server will refer another testing database server which running SQL Server 2005.
Now, wanted to move this 2 temporary server into another 2 new servers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it cannot be done by using image like Norton Ghost due to difference hardware spec.
So, if I install another fresh copy of MOSS2007 & SQL server 2005 in that 2 new servers, how can I migrate the contents, documents, etc from the testing database server?
It would be great if someone can show me the links to kb article. Thanks

I am looking to test this feature - and the "Transaction Performance Collector" has recommended me a table to port to In-Memory OLTP.
I have now tried the "Table Memory Optimization Advisor" tool.
After a couple of tweaks to the table design - the tool is now passing validation but the tool is not allowing to progress to the next step:
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.

Before I allways created a database manually and I could allways use as many databases I needed so in that way I could have several versions of a database for a certain software during development. Can you use separeted databasenames when developing in SQL Express?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.My problem is that I need to set up a backup SQL Server 2000 machinewhich can be used in case of a failure to my primary. All databases(30 as of now) must be an up to the minute exact copy of productionand include most recent changes in data as well as any structurechanges (Tables, Views, SP's, Triggers, Users . . etc).When I tried this using Transactional Replication, the replicationprocess gets fouled up once I introduce any kind of structure changesto the DB. I've considered the idea of doing periodic backups andrestoring it to my backup SQL server, but this does not give me theconcurrency needed with 0 latency.I've seen articles that recommend using Transaction Replication with'Scheduled Table Refresh', and also doing database dumps to restore onthe backup machine, but I have not been able to find any documentationregarding this to try out. How can I implement this type of backupstrategy in SQL 2000?
