FIX: A memory leak occurs when you run queries in the same connection in Analysis Services (841856)

SYMPTOMS

The memory usage of the client process that uses the Pivot Table Services client increases. The memory is consumed if you are running multiple queries in the same connection. The memory leak was approximately 1.3 MB for 5,000 queries. When the connection is released, the memory is also released. The release of the memory is especially important if you are pooling the connections to SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services.

Note The Pivot Table Services client is also referred to as the OLAP 8.0 provider.
