Sqlservr.exe Memory Steadily Climbing
Feb 22, 2002
I've a SQL 7 SP3 server that was running for more than 6 months without any problem and hence I never give much thought to it other than the monitoring the growth of the database size.
Just the other day, I was pretty shocked to see that SQLSERVR.EXE was using nearly 1 GB of RAM (and I have 1 GB of physical RAM)!!! My database size is only about 2 GB and there aren't many simultaneous users online. This database is used for a web application.
Today I have the opportunity to restart the SQLServer service (to apply the security hotfix). And I'm pretty dismay to see its memory usage climbing steadily at the rate of around 20 to 30 KB every few seconds. I guess it'd hit 1 GB in a matter of hours or days..
Now, I've a similar server on another machine.. but its SQLSERVR.EXE is only using around 20 MB and it doesnt grow much.
So..what should I do?? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!!

SQL 7.0(SP3) on NT Server(SP5)
The sqlservr.exe process is using almost 800MB of memory in Task Manager. We have 1GB physical RAM. The swapfile is on C: with min=950/max=1050MB. Is this normal? I think there may be some kind of memory leak. Any ideas?? Please HELP!

Dear Friends,
I have developed my web application using ASP.Net with MS SQL SERVER Express Edition SP2 .
I have hosting it at some where which i can remote and see the service of sqlservr.exe .
The first start of this service take the memory space just only 25 MB but after this service run upto one week it increased up to 200MB .This service won't realease from the memory untill unless i restart the server or restart its service.
1.Could any one tell me why this service continue increasingly ?.
2.What can i configure in MS SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS Edition to let this release from the memory without restart the server or its service ?.
Best Regards,
Channarith Hun.

Hello,
I'm havin a problem with my database server in the network, i'm running a windows 2003 server standard edition with sql server 2005 standard edition.
the problem is that the server get stock and the performance of the whole network is affected, when i use the tak manager to monitor the performance i can see that the sqlservr.exe proccess is using 1,397,928 k of memory usage, in the performance monitor the graphics get crazy and the cpu usage grows up untill 85%.
Can you please let me know if there is something that i can do to normalize the server performance in order to let the network user work with the applications feeded by this server.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I've SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition and Windows Server 2003 ENT SP2.
in the task manager i see that the server use 5GB out of 6GB,but when i arrange the process to see whom takes all the memory i see that the sqlservr.exe takes 150MB(he is the biggest).
when i open Perfmon and look on the sqlservr.exe memory use, i see that he takes the 4.5G.
i've a problem that the server use alot of cpu time to run users queries,i see that pages/sec counter is very big average between 600-800.
is there any problem with my memory?
why the memory reading from the task manager is wrong?
if my pages/sec counter is so big do i have a memory leaks + pressure?

I'm wondering if someone has thought about this, one desires to enhancehis/her sql skills proactively vs. skills gained over a period of timemerely because of work experience. SQL skill here refers to mainly MSSQL Server related skill.What could be reasonably effective ways to go for the proactiveapproach?Off head, I'm thinking of the following:*) read up and re-read on a few selected books such as sql for smartieexcept old textbooks (some of them have been read/studied)?Little challenge: definition of great sql books or online materials?*) get into a habit of visiting some good sql web sites include MS sqlweb site. Little challenge: definition of "good sql web sites"?*) form a routine of reading good SQL NGs like thisLittle challenge: which thread(s) to read? By interest only is sort oflimiting.*) find an interesting project (non-work related) to embark on to test,verify the above three?Big challenge: the above 1 through 3 is pretty dry, how could onemanage to do it in the evening/at night after work when a bit tired anddesires to relax instead?TIA.

hello,
We are having an issue with tempdb growth and even after restarting the server and the shrinkfile command the tempdb still holds on to nearly 15 GB of space.
I found this article on the microsoft website which recommended that we stop SQL server and retart it from the commad prompt using the sqlservr -c -f command. After this we go to SQL Analyzer and run the shrinkfile.
I gave the sqlservr command on a friday evening in our test enviroment and I come back on monday morning and it is still not completed and i had to close the window and start SQL Server from Windows.
Is there something that i am missing here that i should know about the sqlservr command. Is there anything else that someone could recommend regarding shrinking the tempdb.
thanks

I have been dealing with an intermittent problem for several months that manifests itself on my computer as well as a customers computer. It is happening so often, upon booting the computer, that I just open and then minimize the Task Manager so that it will be in the Tool Tray and the bargraph will be visible.
From time to time the processor bargraph will "Max out" and when I open Task Manager and click on CPU in the Processes Tab, SQLServr.exe is using 99% of the CPU.
In Enterprise Manager I have set maximum Memory to 25% of the available system memory. I have tried this in both Fixed mode as well as Dynamic mode, no change.
I was told that there was a SQL Server version that was susceptible to a WORM that caused this. I have since upgraded to SQL ver. 8.0.194. I'm not sure of the version that I replaced, but I thought that the previous version was the one that was susceptible to the worm.
Has anyone fought this battle and if so can you offer any experience or advice?
Thanks very much for your help,
Doc

Hi,
I have asked this question on the MSDN forums
with no response as yet. Maybe you guys can
shed some light on this:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2826915&SiteID=1
We have an apparent File Handle leak occurring in our SQL server.
Last weekend the server ran out of non-paged pool space:
Event ID 2019 -The server was unable to allocate from the system
nonpaged pool because the pool was empty.
In the process monitor the sqlservr.exe process had Mem Usage
of 503,528KB and a handle count of 3,306,263 (!). Using poolmon
the highest usage of the non-paged pool was for the Muta tag, with
211,610,768 Bytes. Restarting the sql service fixes this
temporarily, but already we are back to 427,000 handles for
sqlservr.exe and climbing steadily at about 200,000 handles
per day.
Is there a fix for this?
Cheers,
Geoff

Why is the PasswordRecovery control creating another sqlservr process after I successfully enter the user name, and for a reason I have not found yet it keeps the database in a read only modem then when I answer my security question correctly it gives me the error:
Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTVER1.0.0.1APP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only.
I read other post regarding the read only message and I don't if there doing the same thing, but why does this happen and what is the solution to this other not using the control?

Hello everyone,
I have my minimum server memory in SQL set to 4GB, but in my Windows Task Manager, sqlservr.exe only has about 100MB.
Does anyone have any idea why task manager doesn't show the full amount?

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.

Hello, 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,
fshguo.

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?)
Thank
