Wrote first program by punching holes in cards, which was pretty high tech at the time. I think it took a week for the cards to be taken to the computer and then the paper print out returned to the class... current programs run more swiftly (usually).

comment MSSQL service fails to come up on vm restart
Once again, that was not the question (yes we have taken steps) and there was no full access to the database i.e. although one line of defence was cirumvented, another held. the site has been up for around 7 years without penetration. Would people please confine their comments to the question.

Yes but that was not the question. I need to monitor the service and if it fails to run for any reason, try to recycle it.

Up the top of the post I expressed concern about the 1.3GB that vmWareService was running this article was relevant ict-freak.nl/2010/10/17/…

I've actually tried limiting the memory SQL express asks for - It had been previously set at 3GB - I thought SQL2008R2 was limited to 1GB - options said it was using upto 3GB on a 3.5 GB system with vmWareService.exe using 1.051,372. The long duration 100% on one CPU spikes seem to have reduced. Its taken 5 years to get to 4GB, so the 10GB limit seems a reasonable limit for the next two years- provide we can get it to behave with the VMware environment. I've also added the some of indexes that SQL requested and removed some that were narrower.
