RAMDisk used to exist in Windows NT. I used it and it worked really well. Then, it was eliminated in Windows Server 2003, as I recall.You would block off a certain amount of RAM, proclaim it to be a disk drive, then access it like was a disk drive with folders and files. It worked well.[u]Context:[/u] My company's main server has a bottleneck issue associated with the TempDB. Perfect storm, lots of little tables with small amounts of data, being created and dropped frequently. Already implemented T1118, to no avail. If we can eliminate the disk drive for the TempDB and create it in RAM to run at RAM speeds, it might go a long way to eliminating this server bottleneck.Does anyone know of a reliable RAMDisk implementation, that could be invoked from a stored procedure on SQL Server startup?
