Script to configure SQL Server Maximum Memory

 

Script to configure SQL Server Maximum Memory

I’ve often got SQL Server running on my workstation, laptop or VPC and find that it just soaks up all my memory. This script sets the maximum limit:

USE [master]

GO

-- Set max server memory limit

EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1

RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

EXEC sp_configure 'max server memory (MB)', 484

RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE

-- Check the setting

EXEC sp_configure 'max server memory (MB)'
