SQL 2005 Memory Issue

    That says to me it is acceptable to set them equal. And not having to wait for memory grants can be beneficial in some cases.

    Oh it is - don't get me wrong, I was just providing the reference asked for. People who know what they're doing can certainly set them the same for any number of good reasons. Personally, I tend to default to setting min lower than max - but it's not a rule I'm married to by any means 🙂

    Something tickled the back of my mind on this one that there was an important reason for giving the engine some breathing room between the min and max settings. I was hoping you were going to point to that reference. 🙂

    Hmmm yes. I can't think where that is offhand, though it is a widely-held view, as you know. Darn it, I'm going to have to go look now - it's gonna bug me otherwise.

    I am completely wrapped up in a complex project rollout/babysit or I would be looking myself.

    This question has nothing to do with this thread. Please post it as a separate question on its own thread in one of the SQL2008 forums on this site.
