Memory Reserve

Hi All
I just want to know when some queries has completed on SQL 2000 whether the
memory that reserved for it will release after completion the process.
In current sql server which Im using having major issue with memory usage.
It is catching memory when some process is happening, but it won't release
that memory even after hours of that process took place.
Please send some advise
Thaks in advance
JanakaReleasing the memory after a query has executed would defeat the whole purpose of caching data. We
do not want that. I suggest you investigate the issue further and see if it is a real problem to you
(how do you determine that the behavior of SQL Server is a problem), and if for instance setting a
max for memory solves your problem. Have a look at
