SQL Server 2005 Ent x64
Memory 24574MB
Query Wait -1
There was a canned application that could obtain only 400MB of RAM. What could possibly have caused this? My thought is that the query took a long time to run. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron

May be you need to check the Query, before you run ...

-- Stats updated or not
-- Proper index available or not

SQL Server is going to use all the RAM u allow it. This will starve any other applications for memory.

Should have a dedicated server for your sql server if at all possible

Can set MAX Server memory in SSMS if you need to leave memory for other apps. Should do this anyway to leave at least 2 GB for OS
