MSSQL occupying memory

bertchen,

SQL Server is well known for the difficulty it has to deal with overhead memory process management.  Generally, the problem you are describing has the following common reasons:

   The data structure of your database creates too much redundant overhead data because it is not normalized enough.  In this case, there is not much to do except normalizing you structure.

   You have objects in your database such as triggers, stored procedures etc that mobilize too much unususeful
overhead.  For instance, if you mobilize entire tables at each itteration of a loop then you sould considertaking a look at you code and see if you can make it less rssource consumming.

   You have concurrent tasks (through jobs for instance) that create locks on data and do not allow tasks to run properly and unload from memory.  In this case, setting up some kind of task overall schedule will certainly help.

   The installation of the SQL Server corrupted some system files that do not do properly their job.  In this case, reinstalling the server is the solution.

  How long has it been since you last defragmented the machine the server runs on.  This may also be a reason why you have somme memory management problems.

Hope this helped...

Sincerely,

Racim
