Subject: [dba-SQLServer] SQL Server memory hog

Someone mentioned that SQL Server will ask for and retain all available
memory, and MS documentation (and the behavior of SQL Server itself) bears
this out.  I am installing VS.net on my laptop.  It installs the small
(free) express version of SQL Server 2005.  Does it likewise consume all
available memory?  If so will my laptop be able to function as a programming
machine while using SQL Server express as the data store?
