I have an application that I have written that uses a sql server database running under MSDE 2000 on a 2003 server.

The application consists of many exe's that may run simultaneously and each of the exe's has a connection to the database.

Example, if I have 50 concurrent users using the system, that could actually be 150 actual connections to the database.

So, how many concurrent connections can the MSDE handle?

thanks

Jon

MSDE 2000 has a workload governor that may impact your application. read about it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/architec/8_ar_sa2_0ciq.asp

as far as concurrent connections, it is the same as sql server standard (32,767). The workload governor kicks in anytime you have 8 simultaneous operations occuring in the database. Read the info in the link above for the details of how this works.

You might want to google "MSDE" and "workload governor" for more discussion regarding this feature.
