Schema Collection Limit?

    Thanks Mark!
    My situation is this...
    In my system I allow customization of the data.  These customization are stored in an XML column.  It's great that it can be bound by a schema until i start thinking abbout the magnitude. 
    1000 customers with 100 groups each with a different customization we soon potentially have 100,000 schemas in the collection.
    It can get nasty quick.
    I think i will need a slightly different architecture.

    Thanks
    Bill

    There is no server limit on the number of schemas. There is a limit on the number of schema components in total (elements, attributes, types, wildcards, facets, etc) of ~2^24. While there is no strict practical limit, the number of schema components you use should fit in memory to get best performance.
