When Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) says it needs 3.25 GB of free memory it is talking about RAM (Random Access Memory) or volatile memory.
When you say you have 283.4 GB of memory free you are talking about non-volatile memory aka Hard Disk storage or Solid State Disk (SSD) storage.
Although they are both “memory” you are comparing apples to oranges which are both “fruit”.
To see how much RAM you have available use the command free from the Terminal. ie:
$ free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 8031732 1614708 4377704 750208 2039320 5357500
Swap: 8191996 0 8191996
The first row “Mem:” refers to RAM. The second row “Swap” refers to hard disk swap space which we’ll call “backup RAM” for lack of a better term.
The first column is your total installed RAM / Swap (in this case 8 GB each), the second how much is used and the third how much is “free”. In this case 4 GB of RAM is free and 8 GB of Swap is free.
To increase your free RAM you can close your web browser, music players, videos, etc.
