Somedays ago I installed Sql Server 2019 express edition. Since then I sarted facing Insufficient Memory error. My Droplet size is 2GB Ram and 50 GB Hard disk.
Before installing SQL on DigitalOcean I was using shared DB of Godaddy. There I never faced this issue.
At first I thought this might be the issue of my 2 GB Ram maybe sql requires more. But after googling there is no full proof answer why this is happening?
I even checked my DB size there are lots of space available.
Can anyone please suggest what I am doing wrong.
Note: My project is running on .net Core 3.1

Heya,
The SQL Server can consume a significant amount of memory, especially when running multiple databases or processing large amounts of data. To address this issue, you can try a few things:
- Check SQL Server memory configuration: Ensure that the Max Server Memory and Min Server Memory options are set correctly. You can find more information on how to configure memory options for SQL Server here.
- Optimize database performance: Review your database indexes, queries, and other performance-related settings. You can follow this Microsoft guide on best practices to improve performance.
- Upgrade your droplet: If the issue persists, you might need to upgrade your droplet to one with more memory. You can check the available droplet plans and their pricing at https://digitalocean.com/pricing.
Also, consider monitoring your droplet’s memory usage by setting up a monitoring tool or using DigitalOcean’s built-in monitoring features. Learn more about monitoring your droplet here.
Hope that this helps!
