How can I find what tables are loaded in memory ?

I'm doing some performance reviews and wish to know what tables SQL has
pinned in memory and which ones have are loaded through usage ...

Is there a way ?

Thanks,

Craig

Not AFAIK.

However, you can use DBCC MEMUSAGE to list the top 20 objects that are
held in memory. So this would be the top list "through usage".

In general, I would be very cautious with pinning tables. There are only
very few situations in which it is useful to pin a table. In general, it
is best to leave it up to SQL-Server to optimize its memory use.

SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE objectproperty( id, 'TableIsPinned' ) = 1

I completely share Gert-Jan's recommendation to stay away from DBCC
PINTABLE.

Craig,

This query would show the tables that are "marked for pinning".
SQL-Server does not actively load pinned tables into memory. What
pinning will do is retain all the table's pages that were loaded since
startup.

The purpose of the script below is to load the same news item into two different MySQL tables (thus displaying the same news item on two web pages).

I setup the dataset, which is the datasource for a datagrid. When I originally fill the dataset, the data is loaded into dataset.tables(0). (dataset.tables(0).rows.count = 8) Then, if a row gets added to the table, I want to refresh the dataset. When I do so, the data is loaded into dataset.tables(1). (dataset.tables(0).rows.count = 0, dataset.tables(1).rows.count = 8) (We can go into why the record isn't added later)
