1 SQL instances with several archive Databases using all AWE RAM memory of server

Hello,
I just migrated my accounting system to a new SQL Server deployment of the software.
We just purchased the expensive SQL Server enterprise to accomodate.
I have some replicated databases to of lower priority that I put on the same instance that we occasionally query.  I also imported a 70GB old archive DB that we on very rare occasions.  We are not concerned about performance on these databases
as we are about the accounting DB on the same instance.
The MAX memory was set to unlimited on that instance.  As soon as I put in this monster 70GB archived databases the AWE memory usage used up my full 30GB of RAM.
Is there a way to set the memory usage so the archive databases do not get loaded into the AWE but still the critical accounting system DB on the same instance is taken care of?
Or do I have to shell out another $3-6k for a separate instance?  SQL Server Express has a 4GB limitation and one of the backup DB we don't really care about is 20GB replicated from Azure.

Hi,
>>70GB archived databases the AWE memory usage used up my full 30GB of RAM.
How did you checked that Archived database is using 30 G did you used sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptor.Do SQL server have locked pages in memory
SQL Server bring pages in memory if it is requested ,if you access Archived database heavily its bound to take memory but if yous top accessing it and access your other database SQL server will flush out pages of archive IF REQUIRED.
SQL server manages memory dynamically so I guess you do not need to worry
>>s there a way to set the memory usage so the archive databases do not get loaded into the AWE but still the critical accounting system DB on the same instance is taken care of?
No ,there is no way buffer pool is shared region

    You may not expressly be using all the RAM in your machine but OS X will, whether you know it or not.
    Each time you read a file from disk, whatever was read is cached by the system; when the file or program is no longer in use, the memory is marked free for the system to recover for other purposes but as long as it remains in memory the next time you need to access that disk information it's simply read from memory.
    The more RAM, the more disk data is kept around and the faster your machine will operate until that memory needs to be recovered or you reboot (or otherwise flush the disk cache.)

    with this node might be removing the right.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
    To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
    Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
    Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
    We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

    Hi
    the .exists(n#) method will just check if the n# element exists. there is no build in function to locate or compare record or who oracle says;
    Comparing Records
    Records cannot be tested for nullity, or compared for equality, or inequality.
    If you want to make such comparisons, write your own function that accepts two records as parameters and does the appropriate checks or comparisons on the corresponding fields.

  • Create multiple portal instances with only one database?

    Can someone create multiple portal instances with only one database?
    If so, how is this done, just by running the portal configuration wizard?
    How are most people running with multiple developers working on portal? Do they share a portal instance, or create their own?
    Thank you very much!

  • I am runnig Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

    I am running Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

    plugin-container.exe is used to run Flash and other plugins so if they crash they do not take down your main Firefox session. But... I don't think memory usage would be that different if you tricked Firefox into running Flash inside firefox.exe. (There was a thread with the trick, but I can't recall the details. It was not a regular Firefox setting.)

  • Final cut pro using all of my memory

    So I have the latest version of Mavericks (as of late July) and the latest version of Final Cut Pro (10.1.2). Now I am creating a short film for my Extension English major work and I am editing with Final Cut Pro, the problem that I am having is that the program keeps using up all of my memory under the "other" field. My "Other" usage is weighing in at around 60GB as of now. I do own a 2TB harddrive and my MacBook is 120GB (with HSC documents that I need to keep or else my future as a human is basically pointless).
    How am I able to continue editing my project without using all of my memory. is there an autosave switch i need to turn off, is there a problem with my software!?!?
    Please help!

    You really need to get an external drive – Thunderbolt, USB3, or Firewire 800 – depending on the vintage of your machine. And you should get a second external for backup. (Sorry to be spending your money for you, but it's important; drives fail – both spinning drives and SSDs.)
    Put your media, and your libraries on the external drive. You can drag the libraries you have now to the new drive, working in the Finder, with FCP closed,. Before you do that, it's a good idea to select the libraries and use the Consolidate Library Files command. WHen you drag a library to another drive, it will be copied. Before you trash the duplicate libraries on the boot drive, open the new libraries to make sure they work properly.
    Good luck.

  • HT3918 Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, I know that Leopard didn't.

    Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, 10 gigs in my case. Leopard didn't.

    You should be OK with that much, however, besides the basic needs of the OS, it will depend on how many and which applications are open and how memory intensive they are. Someone might easily get away with 4GB and someone else might have trouble with 16GB.

  • Export out of Motion uses all my Ram?

    Why when I export out of Motion it uses all my Ram? Whether I have 6GB or 10GB of Ram it uses it all.
    Then it starts all the page outs. Right now I am at 12GB of page outs.
    From what I understood you should not have a lot of page outs thats why I purchased more Ram.

    Well, as a bit rate, HDV has the same throughput as regular DV. The throughput for ProRes is higher so if you have a lot of multiclip angles, you'll need RAID speeds to run it.
    However, HDV is a Long GOP format and as such is not really meant for editing, it's designed for file compression. Pro-Res is an intraframe codec. You can wiki the difference if you want to get into specifics, but the gist of it is that HDV requires a lot of processor power to uncompress the GOP structure, allow for editing and then rebuild the GOP structure on export. This is what makes HDV undesirable for editing. It also eats up a lot of what Motion uses to perform math for motion gfx.
    If you're working with multiclips, and you have FCS 3, then you have access to the ProRes LT and Proxy codecs, both of which are high-quality/low bitrate codecs. I would convert the HDV to proxy or LT (whichever your system can handle), edit, and then batch re-digitize to the source tapes. However, I would want the high-rez source to be ProRes regular, not HDV.

  • Anyway to fully use all the ram in bootcamp?

    is there anyway to fully use all the ram in bootcamp? where now only up to 2.17 usable from my 4gb ram in macbook pro or this is normal?
    I'm using window 7 with 32bit.

    Use the 64-bit Windows 7 to get the full amount of RAM.
    It's a limitation of 32-bit Windows in conjunction with a limitation of Apples Boot Camp.

  • How to use sql request with Jdev and database connection

    Hello,
    I have a login page with simple username and password inputsecret text and a button validate! I would like, when the user click on the validate button, to check in the database that the user and password matches. I've done the "Method BIndind..." with the commandButton_action and the database connection works fine.
    How can I use an already existing procedure, say authenticate, wich is stored in the database to authenticate my user ?
    Do I have to create a jdbc connection in java even if I've done the connection with the "create new database connection" wizard ?
    String s1 = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@address:1521:ORCL";
    System.out.println( "Connecting with: " );
    System.out.println( s1 );
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
    this.conn = DriverManager.getConnection( s1,"user","pass");
    thanks for your help

    Creating a connection to the DB in JDeveloper doesn't mean that your application is now connected to the DB - so yes you do need to create a connection to the database using JDBC.
    One note - if you are trying to do a database user authentication the following is probably the better way to go about it:

  • Can DPM share a remote SQL Instance with other System Centre Products?

    Firstly, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I can't seem to find a definitive line on it.
    I am about to install and start implementing DPM 2012 R2 and have restricted access to SQL instances and the creation of. Can DPM share a SQL instance? Mainly can it share an instance shared with other System Centre products?
    Does it really need a dedicated DB engine and Reporting services instance?

    Hi,
    No, Each DPM server requires it's own dedicated instance name.  You can have a single remote SQL server, but with seperate instances for each DPM server, or other System Center products.
    Make sure that names of your instances does not contains an underscore in the instance name.
