  • Never see this type message, Do you use third party tools to admin/monitor your SQL Server?

  • No, am not using any third party software for monitoring.

    The server is having 8 GB of memory available

  • Check to see any trace flags eanbled.

    dbcc tracestatus (-1)

     

  • i have executed dbcc tracestatus(-1), it is giving:

    'Trace options() not enabled for this connection. use DBCC TRACEON()'

  • I assume that the message reads like the following:

    Warning: SQL cache memory usage: %d (pages). If this condition persists, see the Error Log Messages topic in Troubleshooting.

    Books on line has the following as an explanation of the message:

    The Microsoft® SQL Server™ cache consumes memory and holds ad hoc and prepared SQL text. This message occurs if the SQL Server cache exceeds a certain number of pages of server memory. For example, this error occurs if one or more clients are preparing large numbers of SQL statements without performing corresponding unprepare operations. This lack of corresponding unprepare operations can be due to poor application design, an application bug, or repeated creation of prepared SQL text.

    This message will be printed again if server memory changes significantly and if the memory consumption of the SQL Server cache remains high.

    Either warn the suspected clients that server memory is at a low level or terminate suspected connections using KILL.

    Hope this helps

  • Hai,

    Ok, this can be the reason.....
