Could anyone inform me how much the conventional memory SQL7 Enterprise on Advanced Server 2000 can have?
The SQL is on an active/active cluster. Currently each runs at 2GB of memory, with available memory for failover. I am planning to add another 2GB to each SQL node. Is this possible? Are there any configurations I need to do? Do I need to set AWE enabled? and How much?
Your help is greatly appreciate.

Hello Pros,
I have a .NET 1.1 component that I want to use as an extended stored procedure in SQL Server 2000. Is this possible? FYI, I read in many sources (e.g. MSDN blogs) that creating extended stored procedures can only be done using a low level language such as C/C++.
I am wondering if it's possible to expose this component as a COM component using the .NET interop library, then register it with SQL Server 2000, and finally be able to consume it from TSQL?
Help please,

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

Can anyone of you help me in finding online - resources to write extended stored procedure for Sql Server 2000 using C#.

I know that SQL2000 can utilize AWE to address more that 2GB of available application addressable RAM, however, I'm not sure how much memory SQL7 can support. BOL hints that SQL7 does take advantage of the /3GB boot.ini switch in W2K and NT4AS. However, no reference so far illuminates the functional enhancements and possible tradeoffs that this change may provide.
Thanks,

Just two questions actually. We have built a ColdFusion based forums package. Currently we have it on two beta sites, and we are usin sql 7 for the db. Firstly the forums are serving 200-300 people at any given time, about 16,000 unique people a day. SQL & seems to stay at around 50% cpu usage on a dual p3 with 512mb ram. Is that normal? Seems like alot of cpu usage. The other thing is it takes 500mb of ram and just about drains the server of all of its ram even though in the memory properties for the sql server its set to 255mb maximum. Any insight is appreciated.

We are running SQL 7 on a Windows NT Server. If you copy a 25Mb filefrom this machine to a W2K server, the file copy takes over 5 minuteson a 100Mpbs switched network.Copying the same file to another NT server takes only seconds, andcopying the same file to the W2K server from the 2nd NT server, (whichis not running SQL) takes only seconds also.Has anyone any ideas as to why file copying between this machine and aW2K one will take so long. It is repliacted on 5 further w2K machines.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have SQL Server 2000 STD installed on a Windows Server 2003 STD machine. It's essentially the only app on this box. I have 4GB of RAM installed. SQL is configured to dynamically allocate memory. I run a batch file daily to restart the SQL services as SQL does not seem to release memory once it's got it. I don't think this is a problem because, like I said, it's basically the only app. But I want to make sure my OS memory settings and SQL's memory settings are optimized. Will adding the /3gb switch to the boot.ini file make a difference? Also, can someone educate me a little on PAE and AWE?
Thanks
Every day or two I have to restart my SQL Server because users are receiving timeouts and very slow page loads. My mem usage in Task Manager show that SQL Server is at 1,200,000k compared to 400,000k when I restart it. Performance Monitor also shows that Buffer Manager/Target Pages and Total pages are maxed out. Any advice? Thanks!
Hello!
We have a SQL Server 2000 that has been working nice
without any issues. Lately we noticed the fact that the amount of memory that
it is using has increased and once it took down the web server as the total
amount of memory used was 2G. Due to this fact I have set Memory Max to 500MB.
Now as I look in Task Manager the Memory usage is at 530396k which is 518MB.
Any reason why would it exceed the 500MB?
What we did before was to stop the SQL Server and restart it, and it takes about
2 days until it gets back to +500MB.
What can I do to stop this behavior?
Thanks.
Dear All,
We have a Windows 2003 Enterprise server with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise on it. This has the AWE settings for 'max memory setting' to 5120MB. This server has 6GB of memory, or rather about 5.8GB due to PAE. From yesterday morning the server has become almost unresponsive when the SQL service is running, and pretty much all the memory, ie < 1MB on average is listed as being free.
The database has been growing constantly and is now 46GB, with database file size of 67GB.
We moved the database onto a new box which was being prepared for another service, and this has 8GB or ram and no AWE settings. It is running fantastic.
We are going to rebuild the original box and the SAN structure, but I want to do some fiddling before we do. I was going to set awe-enabled to 0 to see if that setting was allowing the OS to have no memory, but from reading http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/maintain/failclus.mspx it says If AWE is enabled and is taking too much memory, SQL Server must be shut down to reconfigure it, causing downtime (which makes a high availability option such as failover clustering less available). Because the memory pages used by the instance of SQL Server are taken from the nonpageable pool of Windows memory, none of the memory can be exchanged. This means that if the physical memory is filled up, SQL Server cannot use the page file set up on a physical disk to account for the surplus in memory usage. How do you reconfigure AWE settings if the SQL service is shutdown?
Also, how can I figure out whether the server is deficient in physical RAM, or it is just a 'max memory' setting we need to tweak, or is it just trial and error?
Incase it might help, we have ~3 meaningful DB's on the server apart from 'master'. One is an archive DB ~80GB, one is ~5MB and the live DB which is the size mentioned above. Unfortunately I don't know table sizes.

One of our servers has 20GB of memory and SQL server has been allocated 18.5 GB out of it, however SQL Server only uses about 9GB or so.
OS: Windows 2003 Server
MS SQL Server 2000 SP4
awe enabled
min & max server memory (run values) are: 18432
/PAE switch in boot.ini
any help why SQL server is not using 18.5 GB allocated to it, would be greatly appreciated?
Good day to all of you
I am faced SQL SERVER 2000 Memory usage problem. I am using Windows 2000 Server SP4 and SQL SERVER 2000 SP4. When User running some in-house application software, the memory for sqlservr.exe was increased . But, when user logout from the software. The sqlservr.exe did not decrease the memory. I have around 100 Users in my company. SQL Memory will countinues increase till max memory usage in CPU.
May i know how to order SQL SERVER need to purge memory when USER was log off from the Program? Or my SQL SERVER was corrupted /missing file?
Please advice
Many thanks!

SQL Server 2000 SP3 on a Dell dual 2.4GHz Xeon box 3GB RAM Windows 2KSP4. Two aplication dbs, each less than 2GB in size.Had a problem where we would run Solomon queries and what not againstthe box. It had 2GB RAM, and sqlserv.exe would take up to 1.85GB ofRAM, exhausting the physical RAM on the box. SQL would choke and theSolomon users would have problems, and I would have to restart the SQLservice.I added another GB of RAM, bringing the box to 3GB, and increased thepaging file. The OS sees it, and SQL sees it. I check EnterpriseManager, and tell SQL to dynamically configure memory, and it offers anupper limit of 3071MB, so it "sees" the 3GB.I can stress the box with queries to the point that sqlserv.exe takes1.99GB of memory (as viewed through Task Manager) and then SQL serverchokes. It never goes past 2GB, and the OS and box continue runningfine.Does SQL server 2000 have some upper limit, or do I just need to changesome setting through EM?Thanks.

I am running SQL Server 2000 on a desktop PC. Just recently upgraded my PC to 2gig of ram from 1 gig, in part, to try and fix the problem below. Didn't work. Have SP3 installed but not SP4 at this point.
When I open up query analyzer and edit some code, regardless of whether I actually execute the code, SQL server eventually sucks up available and cached memory to the point that my system comes to an effective halt --takes forever to do anything either in SQL server or other applications. In the task manager PF Usage climbs to just over the 2gig memory limit.
I conceptually understand the dynamic memory operation of SQL server ... but why is it sucking up most available memory when nothing is executing?
Is there a way I can release/clear the memory? Ideally, code that coould be run under a stored procedure would best meet my needs. Right now, I am "fixing" by shutting down and then restarting SQL server.
Thanks,

Hi to all, i have a very important problem...pls help me
I have a server with Windows 2003 Server (3GB RAM) and SQL SERVER 2000 running on it, my problem is that sqlserv.exe eat 2GB RAM even if on this server nothing happen....if i restart the service of SQL Server everything is ok eat just 30 MB RAM but after some minutes...after i made a simple select or a simple delete....simple things he arrive to 2GB RAM...this not happen until now(2 days ago)...the problem is that when he arrive to ~2GB RAM the statio run very slow and i receive the error "Time out expire"
this problem happens and on my local station where i have Win XP PRO (1 GB RAM) SQL Server 2000....
thx a lot
Good day everyone!
The issue I'm going to pose here has to do with SQL Server allocated memory BEING EXHAUSTED by an application (a simple data receiver from GPS units) when the number of units connecting to it is considerably increasing.
This happens to an extent that no more connections from the units are valid and therefore lots of data (Afterwards) is being lost.
This causes a real problem with the installations and the projects which are running the system.
I will hereby post all of the info which might be useful for any Database Experts among you, so you can perhaps help me figure out the source(s) of the mentioned problem, and possible solution(s) of the issue.
1- The Operating System used:
Windows 2003 Server (Ent. Edition)
2- The Database Server used:
Microsoft SQL 2000 Server
3- The amount of memory:
1 GB (but on some sites there are 4 GB and the same problem
is faced)
4- The conditions where the issue happens
When the amount of the received data - which gets written to
the SQL Server tables - exceeds a certain limit.
5- Number of applications used:
We are using two applications:
a- The receiver, which is a simple application that only
receives the data from the GPS units installed at the cars
of the clients' fleet(s), and writes them to the database
(Day and Night - running all the time), so the memory used
gets bigger and bigger till it floats the memory used by
MS SQL Server 2000. As a result of this the connections
made from the units furtherly to this point (to the receiver)
are not being received and written to the database.
b- the other application is quite heavy.. it does data
management on SQL Server 2000 and exhausts the CPU.
It reads from tables and makes analysis for GPS data...
This is done while "vehicle tracking".. so it makes
calculations on the received data and stores them into
output tables.
6- The programming language used in writing these 2 applications:
Delphi 7
7- What are we doing right now to handle this problem?
We need to flush the memory on periodical basis.
This is being done by stopping the SQL Server, or by
restarting the PC.
And it is not solving the problem entirely, especially that
there must be a way to handle this.
BTW, the memory is not being flushed when we turn the
application off.
8- What do we need to know?
a- We've found, after research, that there are "Temporary tables" or
objects in SQL Server 2000, that the DB system creates.. also page
files, and temp tables.
What are these for? And does handling them in a certain manner help
solve the problem?
b- Is there a way to monitor our applications to see where they are
increasing the usage of memory and how this is happening?
c- Is there a script that writes to the database that we can use to see if
the problem is from our applications? And in case it is, then is there a
command we should write or a function or script we should run in order
to flush the MS SQL 2000 Server periodically, so that it doesn't flood?
What comments can you have on this issue?
Are there solutions at hand?
I thank everyone for trying to help!
All the best :beer: :beer:

Hi
I am joining the thread that initially Mike started. We have a x64 bit SQL Server with 32GB RAM. On start up sqlserver.exe starts with 15 to 20MB of RAM. After that the memory gradually increases at a step of 100MB and reaches 31.8 GB at the end. We don't see a out of memory situation so far and the memory remains the same, once the sqlserver.exe reaches that level we are facing application in stability issue. There is no other application running in this server. At present the database size is 28GB and we have employed the following,
There is a database replication running
A weekly maintenance plan to reindex, backup and other maintenance is running.
There is a log back up job which runs once in 2hrs time.
The temdb size grows to 3gb max. We didn't see any temp table created left out orphan in the temdb.
We have the required indexes placed in the tables to reduce the scan time. Also the server is configured to use dynamic memory allocation that is all are factory settings.
The database is encounters on an average 200 to 500 connections at a time. One observation is the memory goes up as soon as the replication starts, this is at one of the 2 servers.
Please advise what is causing this issue and how to go abt it.
Hi all,
We have an SQL 2000 Standard SP4 system with 3gb of RAM running on Windows 2003 Server R2 Standard.
The SQL memory usage of this server flatlines at around 1665mb and will not go any higher.
I understand SQL 2000 Standard on Windows 2003 Server Standard has a 2gb memory limit, however why wont the memory push up to this limit? The OS shows there is around 700mb of the 3076 unused (SQL uses 1660, windows uses around 700 making the maximum used around 2300 of the 3076)
I have set the /3gb switch on windows boot, I have changed the SQL memory configurations many different times. If I try and set 'min server memory' to anything over around 1500mb I get the error on SQL startup;
Warning: unable to allocate 'min server memory' of 1720mb
In the above example surely if the Server has a 2gb limit it should let me set say 1720/2048 ? or 1920/2048 or even 2048/2048, however anything over around 1500 generates the above error.
Our server continues to flatline at 1660mb, any help to squeeze out an extra 200-400mb of RAM would be appreciated or an explination as to why it can not be done.
Thanks for your help

My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
It was possible to read the transaction log on SQL 6.5 with DBCC LOG and find out what was going on. Is there any way to do this in SQL 7.0/2000 or do you now have to rely on SQL Profiler? I have noticed that SQLProbe has a log viewer in it and would like to know how they did it.

I used to rely heavily on the sysobjects.crdate under mssql 6.5 to identify the last time an object was updated (primarily sprocs, but also tables and views). With the Sql7 Alter command, there doesn't seem to be any easy way to tell the last time an object was changed. Is this data stored out on any of the system tables/information views?
