Question : SQL Server Taking up all my memory

SQL Server is taking up all of my memory and not releasing it when it is done with its operation. I have 8 gb of ram on a 64 bit machine. I have the AWE set to 4gb. As soon as I restart the service the memory is released. Then it slowly tickles back up to 96% whether even if I am not running any queries. It was running fine up until the last week.

I am running it on a Vista machine with home premium. I know I should be running a business edition but you take what the boss will give to you. I have a windows 7 disk on the way.

Answer : SQL Server Taking up all my memory

this is normal, by default. sql server will read data, and keep it in memory.
to "set" a max memory, ujust configire the max memory setting in the sql server instance properties to, for example, 1000 (which is 1000MB=>1GB)
for your home installetion should be more than enough
