2005 Express - Concurrent Connections
Jul 23, 2005Hi all !
Does someone know how many concurrent connections 2005 Express can
accommodate ? The limit on MSDE was 5 before performance drops considerably.
Thanks for your help.

How Many Concurrent Connections Support SQL Server 2005?
Jun 16, 2006Hi folks,
That is the question: how many concurrent connections support Microsoft SQL Server 2005?
Thanks in advance,

Concurrent Queries In SQL Server 2005 Express
Nov 9, 2006If applicable, what's the limit on concurrent queries supported by SQL Server 2005 Express? Also, if there's a limit, does next connection after the max errors out or merely queues up?
Thanks,
Phillip
25 Concurrent Connections
Mar 16, 2004Hey,
MSDE 2000 allows 25 concurrent connections.
If these are all used up, and a 26th connection comes in. What happens? is the connection rejected? or does it sit in a queue, waiting to be given a connection?
Thanks,

Ms-sql 7 Concurrent Connections
May 8, 2002hi
i hv developed an application that runs on the local windows system and interfaces with the MSSQL 7.0 database server using ODBC DSN Connections. This application will be deployed over the LAN with over 100 users.
The MSSQL 7.0 server has only 5 user licenses that limits the concurrent usage to 5 users.
I need a solution whereby all users can access the SQL server database without adding more licenses
Is there a way out.
Please help

Concurrent Connections
Nov 30, 2007Morning
I have been searching hi and low on the web to try and find out typically which version of sql server should be used based on the number of concurrent users you will be having.
I believe that Sql Server 2005 Express should only really be used for up to 10 concurrent users while I seem to remember that Standard edition supports up to approx. 33,000 connections.
Does anybody have this information to hand as I need to write a business case to justify the potential upgrade.
Many thanks
James
MDSE Concurrent Connections.
Nov 6, 2003hey all,
MSDE will only allow 5 concurrent connections to ...
a particular database?
a particular instance?
or a particular server?
ie. if i have one application running on one instance of MSDE with 5 connections and i have another application running on another instance of MSDE with 5 connections. would i actually have 10 connections? **both instances on the same machine...
can someone please clarify.
TIA

Concurrent Connections Limit
May 18, 2008
Hi,
I read that there's a "tecnical" limit of 32767 concurrent connections for SQL 2005 Express, and that SQL 2005 Express uses only 1GB of memory. So, what's the number of practical concurrent connections SQL 2005 Express can handle? Is it 200 ,300, 0r 400...? How much memory is consumed by every connection?
Thanks in Advance.
Change Number Of Concurrent Connections

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Query Maximum Concurrent Connections (Participants)
Mar 4, 2015I have a table called dbo.PhoneCalls with below columns
PhoneID |PhoneNumber| Callstarttime| CallEndtime|
1 |111-111-1111|2013-04-01 05:13:03.000|2013-04-01 05:13:03.000
1 |222-222-2222|2013-04-01 05:15:12.000|2013-04-01 05:16:52.000
2 |333-333-3333|2013-04-01 05:17:29.000|2013-04-01 05:24:08.000
2 |444-444-4444|2013-04-01 05:21:50.000|2013-04-01 05:22:31.000
2 |555-555-5555|2013-04-01 05:22:41.000|2013-04-01 05:23:11.000
2 |666-666-6666|2013-04-01 05:23:20.000|2013-04-01 05:23:46.000
..........
1. PhoneID is nothing but the participant in the call. PhoneID = 1 is twice from above. Which means 2 particpants (Same call )with 2 numbers with their callstarttime and callendtime. Similarly for PhoneID =2, there are 4 participants. And the list goes on for a day and then for a month.
2. For example a phone call P1 with 2 participants is going on for a particular day. We should not consider the same phone call having 2 participants involved. So that the concurrency would be 2. We have to ignore that here.
3. Only to be considered is other Phone calls for that day. Lets say P1 having call with 2 participants, P2 having some 4 participants which fall in the time period of P1. Then we should consider P1 and P2 the common period
4. In order to find number of concurrent calls happened for a day basing on callstarttime and callendtime. What would be the query?
5. Should consider the Timeperiod or the bucket with 1 hour as the period.
6. A Phone Call P1, Phone Call P2, should have matching (common) time ( keeping all the scenarios) is required for this query.
Result for Concurrent calls for a day should be like below. Should get all the concurrent connections happened for a particular day.
Date|TimePeriod/Bucket(hr part)|Concurrentconnections|
Jan-01-2015|01 to 02|3
Jan-01-2015|11 to 12|2
Jan-02-2015|04 to 05|5
Jan-02-2015|12 to 13|13
........
ii) So once the above is achieved.
Have to find the Maximum concurrent connections for day from the above.
For below Maximum Concurrent connections are '3'
Date|TimePeriod/Bucket(hr part)|Concurrentconnections|
Jan-01-2015|01 to 02|3
Jan-01-2015|11 to 12|2
Hence the Result for Maximum Concurrent Connections would be
Date|TimePeriod/Bucket(hr part)|MaxConcurrentconnections|
Jan-01-2015|01 to 02|3
Jan-02-2015|12 to 13|13

SQL 2012 :: Single Multi-Tenancy DB With 100K Concurrent Connections?
Aug 19, 2014I have a DB that is currently not normalized and will be getting about 100K concurrent users that will mostly be doing Read-Only operations from multiple tables.
I am trying to figure out if I should start thinking of having a DB per client (1000 clients) or if I should normalize the database and keep it as a single DB with good indexes and partitioning.
Hardware is not a problem but 100K concurrent users is.
Problems Of Remote Connections For Creating A SQLCLR Project In SQL Server Express-ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express Via Network/LAN
Sep 19, 2007Hi all,
In my office computer network system (LAN), my Windows XP Pro PC has SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed and I was granted to have the Administrator priviledge to access SQL Server Express. I tried to create a SQLCLR project in my terminal PC.
1) I tried to set up a remote connection to SQL Server Express in the following way: SQL Server EXpress => SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. In the Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connection - local, I clicked on Remote Connection of Database Engine, SQLEXPRESS and I had a "dot" on "Local and remote connections" and "Using TCP/IP only". Then I clicked on "Apply" and "OK" buttons. Then I went to restart my database engine in SQL Server Management. When I went to check SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration, I saw the arrow is pointing to "Service", not to "Remote Connections"!!!??? Is it right/normal? Please comment on this matter and tell me how I can have "Remote Connecton" on after I selected it.
2) After I restarted the database engine (I guess!!), I executed the following project code (copied from a book) in my VB 2005 Express:

SQL Express 2005 Going Idle And Not Allowing Connections.
Feb 20, 2007Just upgraded to SQL Express 2005 from MSDE for Firehouse. Upgrade went great and the db is accessable and running fine. Except when not used for a while. Then I need to restart the db to allow connections of any kind. If I don't I get an error that the db is not accessable and I can't connect. Everything runs fine after until it goes to "sleep" on me again. We upgraded to make use of the 4GB limit as we were at 1.9GB and MSDE was getting a little unhappy.
Any suggestions? Is this a "feature" and if so, is there a script I can run to kick it into working mode again?
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow Many Open Connections Does SQL Server 2005 Express Allow To .mdf File
May 17, 2007Hi Guys, how many connections does sql 2005 express allow to .mdf file. I stumpled on info on a microsoft site (actually a forum post on msdn) that sql server express allows only a single connection to an .mdf file.
Iam intrested in this because i developed reporting services reports in BIS and iam having problems. If i run a report from report manager, i have to wait for close to 20 minutes before i can be able to run my asp.net application agian. Else if i insert data or retrieve data from my asp.net application, then i have to wait again for 20 minutes or more before i can be able to run my reports else i will get an error that a connection can not be made to the database or that the database is being used by another process.
So in all cases, i have to wait for 20--30 minutes before a connection can be made to the .mdf file. i.e after running a report or after inserting or retrieving data from the database through my asp.net application.
Iam using sql sever 2005 express with advanced services and visual web developer on windows server 2003.
Any ideas or help.
How To Allow Remote Connections To SQL Server 2005 Express Database
Feb 27, 2006I've developed an asp.net 2.0 web app with vs 2005 and am using a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The app works fine locally, but after uploading to the remote web server the following error occures:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
How do I go about granting remote connections to SQL Server Express?
Does the web server have to have SQL Server Express installed in order to run apps that utilize SQL Server 2005 Express databases?
Do I grant access locally on my machine or do I have to be on the web server to grant remote connections?
I've been using .net 1.1 with access databases for the past couple of years, so this is all new to me.
Thanks.
Cannot Configure SQL Server Express 2005 For Remote Connections
Aug 15, 2006Hello. I have SQLEXPRESS 2005 installed on my laptop running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have an application that can connect to the local instance with no problem. The other day, I tried to configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 for a remote connection from my desktop. To date, I have been unable to figure out how to do this.
I have followed the instructions posted at various locations on the internet, but to no avail. While I can configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 to allow TCP/IP connections, I have been unable to restart the server.
Here is the pertinent snippet from the error log:
<time> Server A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption.
<time> Server Error: 26024, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2006-08-14 21:02:27.18 Server Server failed to listen on 'any' <ipv4> 0. Error: 0x277a. To proceed, notify your system administrator.

<time> Server Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
<time> Server Error: 17120, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
I have a feeling this problem is due to the way my system is configured, not necessarily how my SQLEXPRESS 2005 is configured. My laptop and desktop are connected via a wireless router, and both machines are running Norton Anti-Virus 2006. I've added sqlserver.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to the exceptions list for the Worm protection on the laptop, i.e., the server machine. There's not a setting at the router that would prevent the server from re-starting, is there?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Data Connections For SQL Server Express In Visual Studio Express
Jan 27, 2006I have an Excel add-in that connects to a SQL Server Express 2005database. I've decided to create a configuration piece for this add-inin Visual Studio 2005 Express. I added a data connection using the dataconnection wizard and all appeared to go well. Anyways when I attemptto open SQL Server Express to administer the database, it was corruptedand I had to restore it.I eventually got it to work correctly (I'm pretty sure I followedpretty much the same steps as before), but I was just wondering ifanyone had experienced problems like this? I find it a bit scary thatit may be that easy to corrupt the database by just creating a dataconnection.

Jun 21, 2006This has been driving me crazy for weeks and I can't seem to find any info on it... Here is the scenario:
I've developed an intranet using ASP.NET 2 and SQL Express. I have the site running on my local development computer and also the production server (Windows Server 2003 running SQL Express).
Fully functional connection string for database running on local development computer and running on production server:
<add name="ASPNETDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename='|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connect Timeout=30" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Once I roll the site out, I want to be able to develop (to some degree) against the production database. But when changing my connection string to point to the production server from my development computer...
<add name="ASPNETDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=LancelotSQLEXPRESS;Database='D:OfficenetApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connect Timeout=30;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
...I get the following error:
User does not have permission to perform this action.
I've found some documentation about not using the "User Instance=True;" command but without that I get:
Cannot open database "D:OfficenetApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'WITTEGregL'.
In regular SQL Server, (not Express), I just change the connection string to work against the Local or Production database and it's really easy. I just can't figure out the trick to do the same kind of thing using SQL Express.
Can someone clear this up for me?

Trying To Set Up SS 5 Express For Remote Connections
May 9, 2008I am running a standalone WinXP SP2 system with VS 8 and SS 5 Express on it. I have been working very nicely with VB and SSCE, but I want to learn to use Sql Server 5 Express, which I also have on my system from a prior install of VS 5. I am strictly doing this as a learning experience on my own.
I have been trying to install the NW sample database into SS 5 Ex, but it is obviously not configured properly, because I am getting errors stating that the scripts cannot install because they cannot establish a remote connection to SS. So I looked up the FAQ item here on setting up for remote connections (which I am not even sure applies for a standalone system like mine). Anyway, I followed the instructions in the FAQ, using the SAC util to configure for remote connections, but it does not work. Every time I try to start the DB engine, it fails with the following message:
When trying to start Database Engine when configuiriung for remote connections in SAC:
"TITLE: Surface Area Configuration
------------------------------
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion, you need
administrator privileges to be able to start/stop this service. (SQLSAC)
Now, I am the admin user on the PC but OK, so I selected the SAC option to set myself as SSadmin, even though this option is supposedly only for Vista users according to the dialog. Anyway, it does not allow me to set myself as SSAdmin, it returns the following error:
When trying to add myself to SQLSAC, even though it is for Vista:
"TITLE: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
------------------------------
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL
Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server
does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open
a connection to SQL Server)
For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtI
D=2&LinkId=20476"
(which help link is no help BTW, because it is not valid). And the setting does not get set, because the next time I open that dialog, I am back to being a non-admin user.
So what is the solution here? Am I going to be able to use SS 5 Ex on my PC? No matter which connection option I select, either local only, or for any of the remote options, I cannot get it to work. Am I supposed to reboot my PC after changing a setting? Or is it just not possible to run SS 5 Ex on a standalone PC like mine?
Or worse, are there a bunch of other configuration settings I must change as well? I note that, when I look in the SS Config Manager at the properties for SS Express, I see that it shows the logon option that uses the built-in account "Network Service"rather than Local System or Local Service; is that correct? BTW the browser is always running in all this.
As you may gather, I know zip nada about SS, but I am an experienced VB/VBA/VC+/FP programmer of many years, did desktop Access databases w/VB6 frontends for a lot of customers, so I am familiar with DB design etc. I just know next to nothing about backend stuff like this, other than a little with BTrieve years ago.
Any help appreciated

In MS Access, I could try to re-open the MDB file exclusively.
Is there a connection number etc?
Sql Express - Enabling Remote Connections
Sep 1, 2006I have an application that will deployed on LANS running 1- 10 systems on average.
The front end is C#.net 2.0 and the backend will be sql express.
I need to enable remote connections by default because 99.5% of our customers have 2 or more computers.
I have two questions:
1) How do I enabled remote access during installation? Can I run the sqlExpress install silently and turn this on so that my users (who are very non-technical) do not have to go into surface configuration and turn on network access?
2) If I already have sql express installed (like on my development machine now) how do I enable remote access via a command line utility without having to run the surface configuration tool? I want to be able to execute a command to turn on network access so my users don't have to go to a GUI tool(Surface area configuration) and turn it on themselves. Can I use sqlcmd to turn on network access or some other command line utility that I can execute easily. Perhaps there is some type of .NET assembly that I can reference from within my C#.net application that will allow me to enable remote access? Basically How do i take care of this without making my users have to do it?
thanks in advance
Problems With Remote Connections To Express
May 7, 2007Hi,
I'm having problems getting a remote connection to sql server express.
The application connects fine on the local PC (using SQL server authentication), however a networked laptop cannot connect to sql.
The PC/Laptop have been networked using the network wizard, and files on the PC are accesible from the laptop.
tcp/ip is enabled on express and the browser service is running. All firewalls have been switched off.
Any ideas?
