texte = Yes server admin found nothing out of the ordinary. However we did find the problem, and yes it was not related to RAM. Its was due to a bug in webdna's [TABLE] context. When we use the [table] context the memory used for the [table] is not removed from our server's RAM. Instead it simply accumulates until the server runs out and DBSever.exe crashes. The page still stays up, but dbs don't work because available memory is used up, therefore the server generates tons of 'Not enough memory errors....' and no one can use the site. We previously suspected that [table] was not stable, but this proved it for us. The server crashed every day last week, today we removed the code snippet and all is fine, memory stabilized. We had discovered that every time this page was loading, this small [table] containing three records, was not being removed from the server RAM like a normal .db.
