SQL 7 Memory Usage

We're using a SQL 7 sp3 database on NT4 sp6a and we're seeing the memory used by the SQLSERVR process slowly increasing - anyone know if there are any memory leaks or similar that causes this?
DB is permanently on (repository of monitoring software) so can't easily be stopped and started...

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Re: SQL 7 Memory Usage

Hello Andy,

Yes, there are a lot of memory leak situations you could be running into. SQL can be leaky, as well as ODBC drivers, MDAC, etc. Since I'm not familiar with your environment, it would probably be better if you scan thru the documents on the MS website and see if any of them match your specific situation.

Search on sql memory leak, and you will get back many articles.
