Go to the Microsoft website and download MS SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS for ‘friends’), about 0.5Gb to download, and 1Gb of disk space.
It is working with almost any MS SQL Server version and edition.
Once installed you have to:
- start the program with administrative access rights elevation
- connect to the service
- right-click on root item in Object Explorer,
- select Properties
- select Memory
- from here you can set and tweak (min and max) memory limits, according to your needs.
- restart the service to apply changes.
NOTE
