Windows Task Manager - Sqlservr.exe Mem Usage
Sep 12, 2007Hello everyone,
I have my minimum server memory in SQL set to 4GB, but in my Windows Task Manager, sqlservr.exe only has about 100MB.
Does anyone have any idea why task manager doesn't show the full amount?
Thanks in advance.

Sqlservr.exe Using Too Much Memory! Please Help!
Jun 12, 2002SQL 7.0(SP3) on NT Server(SP5)
The sqlservr.exe process is using almost 800MB of memory in Task Manager. We have 1GB physical RAM. The swapfile is on C: with min=950/max=1050MB. Is this normal? I think there may be some kind of memory leak. Any ideas?? Please HELP!

Sqlservr.exe Memory Steadily Climbing
Feb 22, 2002I've a SQL 7 SP3 server that was running for more than 6 months without any problem and hence I never give much thought to it other than the monitoring the growth of the database size.
Just the other day, I was pretty shocked to see that SQLSERVR.EXE was using nearly 1 GB of RAM (and I have 1 GB of physical RAM)!!! My database size is only about 2 GB and there aren't many simultaneous users online. This database is used for a web application.
Today I have the opportunity to restart the SQLServer service (to apply the security hotfix). And I'm pretty dismay to see its memory usage climbing steadily at the rate of around 20 to 30 KB every few seconds. I guess it'd hit 1 GB in a matter of hours or days..
Now, I've a similar server on another machine.. but its SQLSERVR.EXE is only using around 20 MB and it doesnt grow much.
So..what should I do?? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!!
The Sqlservr.exe Service Could Not Release From Memory
Oct 3, 2007Dear Friends,
I have developed my web application using ASP.Net with MS SQL SERVER Express Edition SP2 .
I have hosting it at some where which i can remote and see the service of sqlservr.exe .
The first start of this service take the memory space just only 25 MB but after this service run upto one week it increased up to 200MB .This service won't realease from the memory untill unless i restart the server or restart its service.
1.Could any one tell me why this service continue increasingly ?.
2.What can i configure in MS SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS Edition to let this release from the memory without restart the server or its service ?.

I'm havin a problem with my database server in the network, i'm running a windows 2003 server standard edition with sql server 2005 standard edition.
the problem is that the server get stock and the performance of the whole network is affected, when i use the tak manager to monitor the performance i can see that the sqlservr.exe proccess is using 1,397,928 k of memory usage, in the performance monitor the graphics get crazy and the cpu usage grows up untill 85%.
Can you please let me know if there is something that i can do to normalize the server performance in order to let the network user work with the applications feeded by this server.

Task Manager Memory Show Wrong Number In Sqlservr.exe
May 28, 2008Hi,
I've SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition and Windows Server 2003 ENT SP2.
in the task manager i see that the server use 5GB out of 6GB,but when i arrange the process to see whom takes all the memory i see that the sqlservr.exe takes 150MB(he is the biggest).
when i open Perfmon and look on the sqlservr.exe memory use, i see that he takes the 4.5G.
i've a problem that the server use alot of cpu time to run users queries,i see that pages/sec counter is very big average between 600-800.
is there any problem with my memory?
why the memory reading from the task manager is wrong?
if my pages/sec counter is so big do i have a memory leaks + pressure?

Too Much Memory Usage
Mar 26, 2008Good day to all,
I'm new here, so I don't know if this is the right forum to post my problem. I have a web application written using C# .net 2005 (W/ajax). The application has a module that uploads data from excel file to the sql server 2005 database. w/c is by the way, i'm using SQL 2005 Express Edition, the app can upload up to more than 10,000 records from an excel file. Everything is ok until it was deployed in a test environment, while having a run through with the system, the application encounter an error after which, we cannot log in to the system anymore. I restarted the server (web and sql server in 1 machine running winxp) then I can log-in again in the system. When I'm tracing where the problem came from, I noticed that the memory usage of sqlservr.exe increases everytime the app connects to the server. I already fix some code to close some objects that might have caused the high memory usage, then I run sp_who in the management studio and there are still connections used by the app AWAITING COMMAND. Then I manually kill (using kill spid) connection that are left opened by the application. But the mem usage of sqlservr did no decrease. Is there a way to release the memory usage of sqlservr.exe? In ASP.Net ? I have a hint that this has been causing the error. Thanks a lot.
Memory Usage.
Nov 25, 2001Hi,
it seems that every day SQL Server 2000 has some kind of memory leak,
the memory usage creeps above 150000 approximately 3 times per day. Is this normal? It starts at about 13000.
Is there any way that I can monitor what is causing the memory usage to be so high and maybe rectify it?
Thanks for the help.

Memory Usage
Jul 7, 2006I was on my friend's server earlier and I checked his system stats. Between sqlservr.exe and msftesql.exe he was using 2.9gb of ram. This is not a high traffic server so I felt that was just a wee bit high. What are some usage experiences you have seen? I have not worked with 2005 so I don't know what the usage should be like for a low to medium usage server. The guy that admins the db is kinda a moron anyway. He said he has said to the server admin it has been optimized, but I dont believe it one bit at 2.9gb of usage. Any comments would help.

Memory Usage
Sep 18, 2007Hello,
I need to know which of the following two methods do need less RAM.
There are 2 big tables, each about 9 M rows, and 6 small dimension tables with each about 10 to 100 Rows. The dimension tables are joined by their id's with one of the big table.
The Structure of a dimension Table looks like
CarID (tinyint), Description (varchar(20))
1 BMW
2 Porsche
I want to join the 2 Big Tables in a materialized view. Later i will run queries like
select * into #temp from dbo.vw_materialized_view where Car = 'BMW'
So, back to my question, will such a query take less memory (ram) when i joined all 8 tables before I created the mat. view or will it take less when I only join the 2 big tables in a mat.view and later join the mat.view with the 6 dimension tables?
Hope you got that ;-)
Thank you

X64 Memory Usage
Dec 11, 2007I have setup 2 x64 SQL boxes now that are having problems with memory. Both boxes were pretty much setup with the defaults on windows 2003 R2 64 bit server, only changes were file locations etc.
On both servers the memory usage continues to climb over the course of a few days until all physical and virtual memory is used and the server comes to it's knees. A reboot will stabilize it for a few days while the memory usage ramps up again.
The sqlservr.exe process does not report much memory but the commit charge in the performance tab of task manager shows the maxed out value. I thought the sqlservr.exe process only didn't report the correct memory figure when AWE is enabled which it isn't.
I thought as a default, SQL server would dynamically allocate memory as needed and had internal mechanisms that would not use more than the physical ram available. The one server has 16GB and I even set the max SQL memory usage to 12GB but still my total memory usage would get out of hand. SQL Server is the only application on these boxes.
Am I making some incorrect assumptions and need to change the way SQL is setup? Any suggestions?
Thanks

How Much Available Memory And PF Usage?
Mar 14, 2007How much available memory is best practice for SQL servers? We have some alerts set up by our system admin, they go off if the available memory goes below 500mb. Which is fine for other servers but I feel for SQL server it isn't quite correct. Currently we stand below at about 475mb and the PF usage is around 7gb.
It is SQL 2005 standard SP1 x64
dual intel xeon 5160s
8gb physical memory
buffer hit cache is > 99%
I am just not confident enough to make a solid decision here that this is acceptable. In the beginning of this month I ran some counters for 24hrs to get a feel for the baseline. The average for available memory was about 850mb at that time. So I am wondering if it is going to keep declining and turn into a problem. The server/instance has not been restarted since maybe last November.
thanks
Huge Memory Usage With BCP?
Oct 17, 2000Does anybody know why BCP on v6.5 grabs so much memory for SQL Server? I have a few table imports where the BCP process will consume over 460MB of RAM during the imports.
The BCP cmd file is executed via an xp_cmdshell call. The server has 2+GB of RAM, but the BCP process effectively flushes large amounts of data from the buffer. It takes quite along time for the cache to recover from this, and after this, the rest of the nightly processes run much slower, as they end up having to hit the drives to retrieve information that should already be in cache.
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated.

Memory Usage For Sql Server
May 9, 2003Hi,
One of the production box running only sql server application, is showing 80% memory usage on the task manager-memory usage history right now.
We are running sql server 2000 standard version-sp3 with 2GB memory on this box. Server is not on the scheduled reboot at this point.
We have seen this behavior for this box last month that after task manager showing 90% memory usage contantly for several days, when server was manually rebooted, memory usage dropped to 35%. Now it's back to 80%.
Our DBA thinks that server should be rebooted on a regular schedule regardless of memory problem. Our network admin doesn't seem to agree with this. He is not ready to reboot the machine even with this high memory usage.
There is no noticable difference performancewise yet.
My questions are:
Is it bad that memory usage reaches from 35% constant to 80-90% or is it common? Should sql server be rebooted immediately to take care of it? Should sql server 2000 rebooted on regular basis regardless of any problems? Shouldn't sql server be releasing memory back to the OS even without rebooting? How do I find out whether server actually is going through memory problems and what is causing it?
Thanks in advance for your opinions,
Shaili
SQL Memory Usage High

SQL Server Memory Usage
Dec 1, 2004Hi All,
Currently I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The SQL server service tends to take up as much of the physical memory as possible. The problem is I also have other services relating to this application running that are very important.
What tends to happen after a period of time is SQL takes up all of the physical memory, so that the other services are using the paging file (virtual memory). This causes extremely slow response time over the network as these other services are having to parse the paging file.
Upgrading the memory is currently not an option :(
I know there is an option to set memory usage for SQL but I am unsure how this would respond in a production environment. What would happen if SQL would require more memory than what was allocated to it?
Can SQL release the memory and still act as normal?
Any input would be generously appreciated
Cheers!
SQL Server - Memory Usage
Jan 8, 2004I am using SQL Server 7.0 on a Windows NT machine. We have been having problems with SQL Server not releasing the memory after it has utilized it.
Currently it is configured to allow a max of 511MB memory (1024 is total on the machine). I had some advice that my best solution would be to reduce the Max Memory to a lower value (say 400 MB) to help reduce the problem.
Is this not counter-intuitive? Or is this the correct solution?
Thanks.
Sqlserv.exe Memory Usage
Apr 4, 2008With SQL Server 2005, I have the problem that sqlserv.exe keeps using more and more memory. Now I did some research and found the following anwers in different places:
*It seems to be the way that SQL Server works. It just uses all the memory which it can get. I have two remarks about this:
1) I that is true, then why is a fresh installation of SQL Server not consuming all the memory it can get?
2) After a few weeks, it consumes so much memory that the whole system (even SQL Server itself) start running very slow. I don't think that's the intended behavior?
So I thought about restricting the maximum memory that SQL Server uses, but people keep saying that's not the way it should be done: SQL Server should be allowed to allocate memory dynamically.
Can anyone help me with my questions?
One other thing that may be of relevance: This instance is a disitributor for replication and the distribution.MDF file also seems to be increasing over time. It became much larger than the application database.
Thanks in advance for replies
Excessive Memory Usage
Nov 27, 2006Hi there group.
Could some please point me in the right direction?
We have a database and it's about 28GB in size, recently the SQL server process that runs uses approximately 1.6GB of Memory.
I have tried running SQL profiler to find out which Stored Procedure is causing this but came up unsuccessful.
When restarting SQL the process it run's at about 50MB for about 20sec and then starts climbing up to 1.6GB of memory usage.
Please assist.
Process Memory Usage
Feb 21, 2007I am using a tool to monitor SQL Server and Windows. It is warning me that:
Process 1004:services has a virtual address space of 1,846.20 MB. This is close to the Windows two gigabyte address space limit.
When locate the process 1004, it shows 15 threads that Elapsed time for all of them is 1d, 3hrs. The Thread state is Waiting and the Thread Wait Reason is "Waiting for an Execution Delay to be resolved".
I think that 1d, 3hrs is from the time I rebooted my server.
Should I take any action? How?
