Hi,

I want to ask if it requires a restart to take effect after I set a max.memory usage limit for SQL server 2005.

If I suddenly set the max. memory usage limit for SQL to 512MB while it is using 1.3GB, what gonna happen? Will the old data be deleted?

Thanks.

It will slowly come down to the level you have set when the memory is released, but if you want it to take affect correctly and immediately, a restart of the service is advisable.
