Can I limit SQL server one database resources
Since you are using Developer Edition (and is cheap as compared Standard or Enterprise), you are better off installing another instance with 5GB Max Memory. Put the databases that you need less memory on this instance.

The rest of databases you can put on the instance with more memory.

Read up Tibor's blog post on Restricting memory using Resource Governor which references the link that @shanky referenced.


  A misconception I see from time to time is that the memory setting is to restrict the Buffer Pool, BP, (mainly used for caching pages from disk). This seems difficult since a page in BP has a cost, but isn't owned by whoever brought it into cache or who referenced it last time. So, it seems difficult with current implementation of cache handling and ageing to govern the BP memory for RG. What RG does govern is "working memory" for a query. Think memory used for sorting, locks, hashing and such.
