Does this seem like too high a memory usage to you?

So mine's only a tad higher than yours. What are you running
on it? I'm just wondering if that's anything to do with it?
I honestly don't know a lot about it but seeing it nearing a
gig seemed strange. It's on Windows Server 2003.

Mine's 15mb and yours is like 900+mb, I'd say that was more
than a tad. I'm running couple of tiny databases on XP.

I know it's more than a tad mate :).

One of the databases attached it's running is about 700meg
mate. I think that could be why it's nearly a gig as there's
a couple of other databases attached that are around 100meg.

I'd say someone is sifting your tuples hard man. Can you
check the processes more closely ie PS -AX in unix?

Yeah I realised that you weren't being serious straight
after I posted. I am an idiot. I guess the size of the
database could explain it, but I don't really know enough
about it to help any more... maybe have a look
here .

Cheers for the link Horsefactory. That did indeed give me an
answer.

Quernstone: I can see who's accessing the system the
database is linked to. That's about it.

I only have access to a tiny amount of the data I used to,
but looking at my old employers stuff, even our fairly large
SQL server DBs (pupil records for big unis like plymouth)
were seldom bigger than about a gig themselves. Total memory
usage (for all process) on the machines only exceeded 512mb
at a few of the largest site and even on those SQL server
was seldom more than a 3/400mb!

Either that's a really meaty database with millions of users
or something is going wrong.

Things you can try:

In the CLI (there is a proper name for it), run the
"SP_WHO2" query (set it to display the results in a table)
to look at the number of connections and how long they've
been on. Think about terminating connections (other than
those done by program itself) that have been in access for
more than 24 hours.

Stop/Start the SQL server service (Icon in your task bar).

Reboot (Sounds simple I know, but in the past it has worked
for me when a SQL server instance was eating too much memory
and I couldn't locate/fix the problem)

Finally, insist they send you on the official SQL Server
2000 course (Course: 2072A) if they want you to deal with
this in future/stop it happening again. There are places in
London near you that do it.

Cheers mate,

I'll give that all a whirl. I wont have to insist on the
course though. They want me to train up in as muuch as
possible.
