Hi John: Simple answer is 'Yes'... I am doing this as I email. Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of JWColby Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 6:26 PM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com 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? John W.
