    Heh... that's a lot of stuff to remember... especially about how to use heap memory so garbage collection will automatically clear it (failure to do so will make for nasy little "memory leaks" that will crush the server over time).

    I guess that's why part of my Mantra is "do as much as you can in T-SQL instead of CLR's" and "you can do more than you think in T-SQL, you probably don't need a CLR". 😉 Obvious exceptions to that include RegEx and that's about it.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
    "Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

    Indeed, I'm 100 % with you.

    But if you opened Pandoras box, I think you'd be happy with the reference. 😎

  • I skipped some posts, but I can see calling a web service if you want to move data into SQL Server.

    But not as part of a query. If you need the query, either set up a real linked server and deal with the issues with that, or pull the stuff together on the client. That's what it's really there for, to allow async stuff to be put onto one page.

    The problems I can see is that if the web service is down or slow, your server can get bogged down waiting for the web service to return, hold locks, blocks, etc.

    Is that kind of like "be sure to pack warm for your trip to Antarctica?" :w00t:

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

    Memory leaks?? :crying:

    I honestly hadn't thought about that...

    Thanks Jeff for bringing it up...

    Does anyone know how memory leaks can be monitored?

    (through SQL Server 2005 queries or otherwise)

    I have used the following check, not feature rich but better than nothing. also it describes how the -g switch is used depending on you RAM, (very important if your not running 64bit)

    http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlclr/archive/2006/03/24/560154.aspx

    It would be nice to use the CLRProfiler if could be used to analyze SQLCLR.

    has anyone has been able to get this to work with SQLCLR?

    I ran the following query - from link you mentioned - and got 3 rows of data. Should I sum them all up to get the total memory taken up by SQLCLR?

    select single_pages_kb + multi_pages_kb + virtual_memory_committed_kb

    from sys.dm_os_memory_clerks

    where type = 'MEMORYCLERK_SQLCLR'

    Output:

    --------------------

    5688

    1832

    0

    Would a memory leak manifest itself in a gradual increase of these values over time?

    Is there another way to assess this?
