The server it is running on is a 2.4Ghz P4 Xenon, 1GB of RAM. SQL Server is designed to grab as much as memory it can, as memory is good for cache. The assumption is that SQL Server runs on a dedicated machine. If some other app needs memory, SQL Server will yield, but may not always yield timely. You can use Enterprise Manager to configure SQL Server to not use more than a certain amount of memory. This appears to be a good idea in your case. Whether it is really a bright idea of running IIS and SQL Server on the same box is another issue. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, sommar@algonet.se Books Online for SQL Server SP3 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinf...2000/books.asp |
