We are supporting a share point application with huge content Database. And the applicaiton went down...and it came back live after we ran dbcc freeproccache().
before running the freeproc cache we took the dbcc memory stats..and it looks like below...Can someone please elaborate me..whether heavy caching can bring down an application, and how to detect it and clear it..?
