RAM Usage increasing when I use the Select Statement - Why!?

  • Hello!

    I have a problem when I write the select statement my RAM usage increasing: example

    I'm using the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition localy on My PC with 2 GB Ram memory!

    writing : SELECT * FROM table_1

    or

    INSERT INTO table_2

    SELECT * FROM table_1 ( definition of these two tables are the same)

    Any idea!?

  • Whats the structure of the table? How much data is in the table?

  • ....over 500 000 records, with 75 columns lots of data types (varchar, datetime, etcetc)!

  • It should increase as you work with more data. You can set a limit if needed in the server properties in SSMS.
