Resolution
*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up prior to performing this procedure.*

To retrieve the the amount of memory used by each database of current SQL Server installation, log into SQL Server Management Studio and run the attached SQL script (Memory_Used.sql).
Alternatively, execute the query(s) below :

-- Memory used by each database
SELECT DB_NAME(database_id),

FROM sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors
GROUP BY database_id
ORDER BY COUNT (*) * 8 / 1024 DESC
GO
