Thanks for the information . Seems when running select query [with variations ] for terabyte of data , somehow system memory consumption jumps to 8GB .. Is it possible to suggest some equation like this ; For eg select a,b,c from table ; Row_memory_usage = Total_rows_in_the_table * row page size * some variable part + some kb's for temporary usage or something similar to this . I am debugging the disk cache and paging related areas . Any inputs for the above query will be highly appreciateable .

Though if you would explain why you are looking for such information, you would get more useful answers.
