Hello folks,
I am trying to run an update on a table that that around 500k rows. The fields are all varbinary (max), xml() etc. The update is being done using a join statement to a different table. But the update just doesnt run. It is always in suspended state and in running for hours and hours.
So i try to create a non clustered index which i think might speed up the process. But even the "create index" command gets stuck in suspended. There are no other queries running on the server. Not sure why query goes to suspended state.
The CPU stays less than 10% utilization , but the RAM is always at 95+%. Under task manager processes, sqlserver.exe takes almost entire RAM even though no active queries.
Any advice on how to overcome this ..
