QUESTION POSED ON: 29 August 2007
How can I find thedetermine the memory usage of SQL Server 2000? Every time I query the sysperfinfo table in the master database, I get the ctr value on the Target Memory and Total Memory similar to what I configured in the SQL properties maximum memory settings. For example, I have set my SQL Server Dynamic memory to use 6144 MB, but how can I tell that it is really using that memory?
