Home Forums SQL Server 2016 SQL Server 2016 - Administration dm_os_process_memory shows more memory usage than dm_os_memory_clerks & dm_os_buffer_descriptors RE: dm_os_process_memory shows more memory usage than dm_os_memory_clerks & dm_os_buffer_descriptors

  • Thanks for your input Sue.

    Memory for thread stacks, memory heaps, non-SQL Server linked server providers and other non-SQL Server dlls are not part of the max server memory.

    How can I see more information about these memory users?
    When you talk about "non-SQL Server dlls" I think about CLRs which have their own memory clerk. Although we do have some linked servers, they are only used for occasional administrative tasks.
