The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

We have a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 2 GB of RAM running one application that has a SQL Server 2003 database also running on it. We've had absolutely no issues with this server at all for the past 3 years. We had a programmer develop an in-house application for us, using the same server as the Database Server. Now, every other day, I have to reboot the server, because SQL Server takes up more and more memory as time goes on. I'm sure this is due to the in house app that was developed.

I know I can limit how much memory SQL Server can use, but here are my questions:

1) Will adding more RAM to the server solve the issue
2) If I do limit the amount of memory that SQL Server can use, will that slow down the apps that run on it.
3) What causes more and more RAM to be used. Is this ineffiicient codeing on the programmers part?

Thanks
