Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0

BUG #: 52269 (SQLBUG_70)

SYMPTOMS

Counters of interest are Procedure Cache Pages In Use and Procedure Cache Size (Pages) in the SQL Server Buffer Manager Object, as well as the Procedure Cache Hit Ratio, Procedure Cache Pages, and Procedure Cache Object Counts counters in the SQL Server Cache Manager Object.
