drastic change in response time

All processes have slowed to a crawl - 1 user running a
simple query in ARC brings all app's residing on this
machine to a crawl. Machine resourses are abundant and
available. I know these are VERY sparse details... I'll
provide whatever info I can if someone can let us know
something. ThanxThis is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Some suggestions:
1. Run DBCC OPENTRAN for your database. See what SPID has the longest
running txn. Run DBCC INPUTBUFFER on the SPID.
2. Run sp_lock and see who is putting up the most locks.
3. Based on the above, consider killing the offending SPID.

quickly(ie. is it SQL or the whole box)?
Other things to list --
mem usage
Free pages
IO
CPU usage
Cost of the query in question
We have had random slow and stoppage of performance on SQL2K.

4gb harddrive available (about 40%)
2 - 933 processors
ALL application are affected. Task Mgr show both 933
processors at 100 capacity. All seem fine until we run a
simple SQL query on an ARC database. THAT qry soaks up
100% RAM.

SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON
GO
<QUERY IN QUESTION>
and post the output.
Also there is a SQL bug on SQL2K that will create mem leaks when jumping
between DBs in a query, is that happening? What version of SQL and SP are
you on?

you can search KB for it(if they acknowledge it). The client apps where
made in PB and a SQL2K(Compaq) server gold release. We no longer see this
problem and are on SP3a/SP2. It was a sporatic and not a serious outage at
the time, it sounded familar to is problem though.

instead a problem with SDE reconciliation...sorry!
