Poking around in Microsoft SQL Server looking for a way to give me some statistics on memory usage, primarily consumed memory.
My first attempt was using ‘dbcc memorystatus’. This gives me a good snapshot of the current memory status of the SQL Server. It will take me sometime to fully understand and parse the output.
So I kept looking for more details on how to show the consumed memory. And that is where I found the following query that gives me just what I am looking for.
Declare @MemTable Table
( row_id INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(100), value BIGINT );
INSERT INTO @MemTable EXEC ( ‘DBCC MEMORYSTATUS’ );SELECT top 1 Name,convert(decimal(16,2),value) / 1024/1024 ‘MBUsed’
FROM @MemTable
WHERE RTRIM(LTRIM(name)) = ‘Working Set’;
So if your looking for just the working set here you go
Thank you Jason Brimhall for the tip
