  • RE: Memory Question

    No, nothing to do with virtual servers at all. How SQL allocates and what Task Manager doesn't show

    Best way - target and total server memory

  • RE: Memory Question

    Don't use Task Manager to check SQL Server's memory usage. It will often display completely incorrect values.

  • RE: logical consistency-based I/O error

    There's no corruption there, so no errors that need fixing.

    Service packs are not fixes for database corruption, not that you have any anymore.

    It's used for the cluster's IsAlive check. It takes minimal resources. It wasn't there on SQL 2008 or below because it was only introduced in SQL 2012.

    Now to squeeze more money from you, just the OS restricts you to force you to upgrade.

    Been that way well before the 32 bit/64 bit changes.

    The OS wasn't the limitation in 32-bit days. The addressable memory by a 32-bit process was.

    Nope. To get around 'artificial' memory limitations on Windows Standard edition, upgrade to Enterprise.

    If the repair ran and completed, then the corruption's gone. If you have more problems, some detailed descriptions would be useful.
