SQL Server 2000 SP3 on a Dell dual 2.4GHz Xeon box 3GB RAM Windows 2K
SP4. Two aplication dbs, each less than 2GB in size.
Had a problem where we would run Solomon queries and what not against
the box. It had 2GB RAM, and sqlserv.exe would take up to 1.85GB of
RAM, exhausting the physical RAM on the box. SQL would choke and the
Solomon users would have problems, and I would have to restart the SQL
service.
I added another GB of RAM, bringing the box to 3GB, and increased the
paging file. The OS sees it, and SQL sees it. I check Enterprise
Manager, and tell SQL to dynamically configure memory, and it offers an
upper limit of 3071MB, so it "sees" the 3GB.
I can stress the box with queries to the point that sqlserv.exe takes
1.99GB of memory (as viewed through Task Manager) and then SQL server
chokes. It never goes past 2GB, and the OS and box continue running
fine.
Does SQL server 2000 have some upper limit, or do I just need to change
some setting through EM?
Thanks. 2 11529
Hi
Standard Edition of SQL Server 2000 has a limit of 2GB or RAM. Enterprise
Edition can use more.

What do you mean with choke? Even if SQL Server only is able to use
2GB, you should have no problem to run 2GB databases with 2GB of
memory, unless they are extremely poorly designed. And not even then
should SQL Server "choke".
Is there something in the SQL Server errorlog when the server "chokes"?

I will have to admit that I'm not too well versed on the issues about
large memory. Brian Moran had an excellent article about this in
in the March issue of SQL Server Magazine, http://www.windowsitpro.com/SQLServe...155/45155.html.
That's a subscriber-only article, but already the visible intro might give
you some hints.

Hi everybody !
Im maintaining a large intranet (approx 10000 concurrent users) running on

Currently there is 2,5 GB Ram, 1 1400 mhz cpu and 2 scsi disks installed on
the db box.
Sqlserver is set to use max 1,4 GB RAM, and the sqlserver does not seem to
be using it all.

Hello,
I am having trouble with a production db server that likes to gobble
up memory. It seems to be a slow burn (maxing out over about an 18
hour time frame, before pegging both procs on the server and bringing
everything to a standstill). After viewing the trace logs, it appears
that all the SPIDs are being recycled - does this assert that
connections are being properly closed when the need for them has
ended? The code base is...

I'm looking for a simple way of telling (inside a stored procedure) if I'm
currently using MSDE or a full SQL server. Ideally, there is some
pre-defined environment variable that won't cause me too much overhead. The
reason I'm doing this is because my system "rolls over" databases when it
reaches the 2Gb limit with MSDE, but obviously I want to avoid this overhead
if the user installs onto a full SQL server instance.
Thanks
