When I run the following query to determine the Page Life Expectancy: SELECT cntr_valueAS'Page Life Expectancy'FROMsys.dm_os_performance_countersWHEREobject_name='SQLServer:Buffer Manager'AND counter_name='Page life expectancy'
It returns a value greater than 120,000, Shouldn't this value be in seconds? So that would work out to 33 Hours, that does not seem right? The server is a Virtual Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise running SQL 2008 Standard. It has 24 GB in the box and 22.5 allocated to SQL. The Buffer Cache is roughly 99% and the Target Server Memory (KB) is 21764. So SQL is not using all of the RAM Allocated to it
