Hi,
I am having an issue with SQL server that slows everything to a crawl,
and makes almost any query impossible to complete.
Here are the symptoms:
I stop SQL, I start SQL. The task manager shows SQL starting up and
quickly allocates 50 MB of memory. I then open SQL Manager and I can
open up the instance of SQL Server and I expand to see all of the
databases, memory rises to about 70MB allocated. I then expand a
database and view a list of tables. The memory allocation quickly
rockets to 860+ MB and any attempt to query they database results in
huge hang times.
I have MacAfee anti-virus in place and it is constantly scanning for
viruses, so I don't think it is a virus. The log files do not appear
to be large. I have done everything I know to do to resolve this. Any
help would be much appreciated.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
