FIX: The output from the DBCC MEMORYSTATUS command indicates that the Schema Manager cache uses more buffer space than expected in SQL Server 2008

When you use the DBCC MEMORYSTATUS command in Microsoft SQL Server 2008, the output in the "Global memory objects" section indicates that the Schema Manager cache uses more buffer space than expected.

Note The "SE SchemaManager" entry in the "Global memory objects" section indicates the cache memory that Schema Manager uses.

This problem occurs because SQL Server 2008 introduces a new schema manager cache to cache column meta data. In SQL Server 2008, an optimization is not used. This results in a larger schema manager cache.

The fix for this issue was first released in Cumulative Update 2.
