Cannot dispose/clear memory of sqldatareader [modified]
-
i didnt use datatable because the table is too large. but suddenly i realize i can just "select top 1" =_= btw, will this solve the problem of memory leak?

If you're looking at TaskManager to see the memory statistics, you're looking at the wrong stats. TaskManager is showing you about how much memory is reserved by the .NET CLR that is running your app. It is NOT the amount of memory your app is actually using. If you want to see much more accurate stats, use Performance Monitor instead. There are a bunch of .NET Memory counters you can look at that won't "lie" to you.

2006, 2007, 2008but it's actually the sqlserv.exe that use up the memory. it reach above 1GB if i continue to run the program. i try to run the code in debug mode, if i stop it, it wouldn't free up the memory also.

I run codes to get all the columns for all my table in database using sqldatareader. But then the sqlserv.exe use up too many memory. i tried to dispose everything at the end of the program but still not work. or is it anything to do with the sql server 2005 itself?
this is the sample of my code.. i know it sounds noob, but i just want to get it work.. =_=''

Thx. But what should i do? How to optimize? FYI, i 've change to use sqldataadapter, it seems to use less memory, but still it wont free up after used. and btw, as can seen from my code, i used oracle reader too. it does not have any problem.

Well, one way would be to write a bunch of SQL so you send it all at once and get a single dataset back instead of using readers over and over for every result you want.

I see at least one OracleCommand object that you leave open and undisposed. As you do this in a loop, that's one connection for each selected item. Don't call GC.Collect. The garbage collector knows better when a garbage collection should be done.

sorry for misleading. Actually it's the sqlserv.exe that use up the memory. My oracle.exe is working fine. MICROSOFT ......

It's normal for SQL Server to use any available memory for caching, that is the default setting. If you are running the SQL Server on the same computer as the application, you have to limit the amount of memory that SQL Server uses, so that there is some left for the application. Normally it takes days or weeks until SQL Server uses all available memory, but as you are fetching everything everytime in your query, it will go a lot faster. Verify that you close and dispose everything, not just the one object that I found at a quick read-through. I also see an SqlCommand object that you leave open and undisposed. That means that one connection is left open for each selected item, which uses a bit of memory for buffers, and also keeps the result in memory as you leave it unread. The connections will time out after a while, but you are probably running into problems before the timeouts starts to free up enough connections.

Depends on the programmer... For some it's the Z key... as in "plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hlp me!!!!".
