Mulitple Instances on SQL 2000

  • I am pretty sure that SQL Server architecture does not allow this however, I wanted to open a discussion to see if there is a way around this.

    SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition on  Windows 2000 Server.  with 8 GB RAM

    Let's say that you created 3 instances on the sql box.  Can you allocate memory where each instance will only use 2GB RAM?  Thus, each instance will have 2GB of RAM and 2GB RAM for the OS?

     

     

  • easily done... just configure each instance with 2 gig via sp_configure

  • Unless you're using adv server most of your memory will be wasted I'm afraid.
