Back Office > Administration > SQL Tools > Miscellaneous Tools > Back Office Memory Settings
Description
This menu item is used to set the maximum amount of memory that can be used by SQL Server. By default the installation of the SQL Server will set the maximum to all the memory that is available.
Note : This is not required if you are running the free Express Edition of SQL Server.

How much memory to assign to SQL Server?
Check the Maximum Memory allocated is 25% of the available RAM in the PC OR for low spec PCs just set it to 250 MB.
A rule of thumb is to allocate up to 25% of the total RAM in the PC.
For example : 4GB total RAM = 1GB Maximum Memory OR 16GB total RAM = 4GB Maximum Memory.
SQL Server Express Edition (the free version) is limited to 1GB of RAM so not an issue if you are using that version.
