First, I am new to this forum and newbie to MSSQL. So please forgive me if this has been mentioned before.

I have a MSSQL2008 with around 10 databases. The sizes of the databases range from 100MB to 2GB. Users will connect to this database from their webserver. The server is intel xeon 2.8 with 4GB ram, windows 2008 x64.

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2007.0100.1600.022 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6001.18000 (longhorn_rtm.080118-1840)
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6001.18000
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.3053
Operating System 6.0.6001

Anyway, we keep on getting frequent problem where the database become sort of hang. Connection from client will fail. The only way we found to resolve this is to stop and start MSSQL service. Some users even need to restart their IIS website service for it to work again.

We have tried looking into limiting the resources usage to max memory to 3GB but it still happens. AWE is turned off because we are already using x64.

We suspect maybe some users did not optimize their database and the usage. So, they might be taking too much resources. We are wondering is there a way to limit resources used by each database. We want to try to limit some users that we suspect are using too much resources.

Appreciate any feedback.

If you are using the Enterprise Edition, you can utilize the Governor to control resources.

It's Standard edition.

edit:

After googling around for resource governor, seems like Standard edition also have this function? Perhaps Enterprise have extra function in this governor feature?

No. Only Enterprise Edition, Developer Edition and Evaluation Edition has this feature
