Hi

I have heard that SQL Server can support upto 10,000 users,

What if my application , connects to the sql & does not do antything then , why does the SQL server slow down with just 700 users.

I mean just the connection is established & NOTHING further is done.


Thanks

I'd expect it may have something to do with the hardware. Something might be able to support 10000 connections, but other things may stuggle with the resourcing.

Can you be more specific when you say that SQL Server slows down with just 700 users.

Also i dont know that SQL Server can support only or upto 10,000 users.

Lets say that I have a Vb application that makes a ADO connection to the SQL Server, then there is some data that pops up on a text box from the DB , This box contains a lot of info which is read by the user, now in this case there is not other operation performed on the SQL Server .

Such 700 users are logged on to the server & the server slows down , why when it can support 10000 users, here now we dont even have any I/O or processing going on.

How are you getting data data from the database? Are you using an adhoc sql query or are you using a stored proc to get the data. It all depends on how the query is written.
