Cache Memory

  • Hi,

    How to find out Total amount of dynamic memory (in megabytes) that the

    server is using for the dynamic SQL cache.

  • From http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlsakthi/archive/2011/02/28/t-sql-script-to-monitor-memory-usage-by-sql-server-instance.aspx

    Dynamic SQL cache is in there somewhere
