    Also, find the word "governor" on these pages: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2005/05/BetaBox/default.aspx ShowStepTwo=true http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/chats/trans/sql/SQL_081004.mspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/09/expresseditions/default.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/theshow/transcripts/Episode049Transcript.aspx wrote in message news:bd308738-350c-4cd0-a99e-0e8690010eb3@discussions.microsoft.com... > is there a limit in concurrent connection to SQL Server Express Edition > > thanks > > ~Walther >

    SQL Server Express 2005 doesn't have any workload governor to throttle connections so there is no limit in number of concurrent connections (as opposed to MSDE)

    Here's a piece from BOL:

    SQL Server Express and MSDE Limitations

    The following table lists the limits that have been set for MSDE and SQL Server Express databases.

    Limitation MSDE Limit SQL Server Express Limit

    Concurrent workload governor (throttle)

    Yes

    No

    Database size limitation

    2 GB

    4 GB

    RAM support

    2 GB

    1 GB

    SMP support

    2 (or 1 if MSDE is run on Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition)

    1

    Note:
    In MSDE, the Workload Governor (also known as the throttle) caused performance limitations as the number of concurrent users increased. SQL Server Express does not have a Workload Governor.
