Hi,

Looking for some help where I can set a fixed min/max server memory value, which is still dynamic. I need to distribute a script to different machines that have different memory configurations : 256 Mb, 512 MB and 1024 Mb. Is there a way I can dynamically change the fixed values for min/max memory based on the computer's actual amount of RAM ? Thanks.

sp_configure 'max server memory', 350
go
sp_configure 'min server memory', 150
go

K, if by any reason I can use a VB variable to extract the total RAM ? Thanks.

You may want to look for more detail information on Query_Governor_Cost_limit on Books Online or any source.

SET QUERY_GOVERNOR_COST_LIMIT
Overrides the currently configured value for the current connection.

Syntax
SET QUERY_GOVERNOR_COST_LIMIT value

Arguments
value

Is a numeric or integer value indicating if all queries are allowed to run (value of 0) or if no queries are allowed to run with an estimated cost greater than the specified nonzero value. If a numeric value is specified, Microsoft® SQL Server™ truncates it to an integer.

Remarks
Using SET QUERY_GOVERNOR_COST_LIMIT applies to the current connection only and lasts the duration of the current connection. Use the query governor cost limit option of sp_configure to change the server-wide query governor cost limit value. For more information about configuring this option, see sp_configure and Setting Configuration Options.

The setting of SET QUERY_GOVERNOR_COST_LIMIT is set at execute or run time and not at parse time.

Permissions
SET QUERY_GOVERNOR_COST_LIMIT permissions default to members of the sysadmin fixed server role.

Thanks for your help, but have created a vbs which creates the sql input file dynamically based on the following :

Set objMemory = GetObject("WinMgmts:root/cimv2:Win32_OperatingSystem")

For each objModule in objMemory.Instances_
    intPhysicalMemory = intPhysicalMemory + objModule.TotalVisibleMemorySize
Next
