BUG: DOC: Information on Default Memory Config Incorrect

Last reviewed: April 8, 1997
Article ID: Q153918

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0 and 6.5

SYMPTOMS

The SQL Server "Administrator's Companion" says on page 671:

   When you install SQL Server, the setup program assigns 8 MB of memory to
   SQL Server if the computer has less than 32 MB of RAM, and 16 MB of
   memory if the computer has 32 MB or more of RAM.

Actually, a computer must have 64 MB or more or RAM before setup raises the default memory assigned to SQL Server to 16 MB.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0 and 6.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
