I understand that there is a 4GB size limitation on SQL Server Express edition. right?
What I want to know is what if a database file created in SQL Express is hosted with SQL Server 2005 will the file still have the 4 GB size limitations?
I am running 7.0 standard desktop on Workstation 4.0 and have run into a database size limitation of 10GB. I have all the newest patches and have found no documentation that refers to a 10GB limitation. A September copy of VBA developer says that this edition has a limitation of 4GB while the guides say that the Small Business Server edition would have a 10GB limitation. All other forms of documentation say that there should be the standard mega-terabyte limit. I'm completely confused by this [lack of] documentation. Any help???
I've never worked with the XML data type in SQL Server, although I know its been there for a few iterations of SQL SErver. Now I've got a situation in which it might store some configuration data as XML, since that's the way it comes. (We had thought about storing the data in a VARCHAR(MAX) field.)
The first question is does the XML data type have a size limitation? For example do you do something like:
ConfigFile XML(1000) NULL
Or is it just something like this:
ConfigFile XML NULL
The second question is persisting the data to a file. As the name I choose for the variable suggests, we want to save the data from a configuration file into a SQL Server database. How do we go about doing that? We'll be developing a C# application, it will read and write the data both from the SQL table and the user's local HD.
I found an article that stated that there was a limit of 1GB of total user databases for SQL on Small Business Server. I could not tell if that was SBS 2003 or an earlier version. Does anyone know if there is any limitation?
I have created a backup device. THe file it wrote (.dat) is 1.2 gig when I tried to run another backup to it it failed (3sec) Is there a size limitation on the Device or .dat file size?
Just testing things out I tried to directly open this file and it gave me a memory problem(Try closing other applications not enough memory to open "filename").

Im just wondering, does the Execute SQL task have a length limitation of how long the SQL statement can be, I tried to copy and paste a very long SQL statement from my DTS execute job task to a new SSIS execute SQL task and the statement was truncated and I cannot enter anymore text after that

Say that I have 100,000 attributes/feature selections for my SQL Server Neural Network Algorithm.
Customer Attr1 Attr2 Attr3 ..... Atr100000 ============================== Jack 1 0 1 ..... 1 Sam 0 1 1 ...... 0 Mary 1 1 0 ...... 1
Knowing the fact I can't fit those info on a table and SQL Server's Neural Network does not support table prediction . What's an alternative to use Neural Network in SQL Server 2005 to solve my problem?
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
If I install SQL 2005 Standard on Windows 2003 Standard, is SQL limited to 4 gigs of physical RAM?
I'm planning a new system that will run SQL 2005 Standard edition on a Windows 2003 Standard platform. The spec calls for 8 GB of RAM. My experience would lead me to suspect I need to install Windows 2003 Enterprise to take advantage of all the installed memory.
Hello! I'm trying to figure out what the ultimate size limitation for a SQL 2005 Enterprise server is. This document is helpful but I'm a bit confused:
In the document, it says that the maximum database size is 524,258 terabytes; however, it also says that the maximum data file size--which I assume is the .MDF file--is 16 terabytes. My question is, how can you create a 524,258 TB database if the maximum file size 16 TB?
I've searched the forums and found posts stating that there is no connection governer in the 2005 edition, but I am getting connection limitation errors. I have Standard Edition with 25 CALs.
------ A problem occurred when attempting to contact the server (Server returned: Connection reset). Please ensure that the server parameters passed to the driver are correct and that the server is running. Also ensure that the maximum number of connections have not been exceeded for this server.

Hello, I am designing a program for work with SQL Server express 2005. But I don't know what is the data storage limit in this version of SQL Server. What i want is storing about 30000 records in a table of the database. Hasn't SQL Server express 2005 any problem or restrictions for storing the data? Please advice in this regards, Thank you, Mona
Just to be clear, I would like to know if a problem I face is due to an error on my part or a limitation on Microsoft's. In my experience (several hours-long installations, removals, reinstallations, using the skuupgrade=1 parameter from the command line, ad nauseum) I have concluded that the best one can do installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition from the Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition package is to get the Express Edition, (actually styled MSSMLBIZ). In particular, what I'm hoping to be able to do is program to a test database that I have from my client, which I was able to do on my XP Professional machine. But on my new Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine (which will only let me install the x64 version of SQL Server 2005), I get an instance that is characterized as SQL Server Express and generates the following error message when I try to attach to the same MDF file to which I was able to attach under my prior, XP-Pro based configuration:

The Developer Edition, of course, is supposed to enable us to program to all levels of the database, and I would hate to think it is really crippled in this way, but after uninstalling everything, reinstalling multiple times (devoting several days to the process), it sure beats me how I can overcome this problem short of going back to my old machine. Any definitive answers on this apparent limitation, or useful procedural advice on installation quirks, would be appreciated (and, yes, I've spent a lot of time going through the installation/setup forum -- if the answer is there I can't find it).
I installed sql 2005 a while back. Then I recently found out my file system was fat32 (I don't understand why the hardware people did this...) and I had to convert to NTFS. Naturally the sql service no longer worked so I uninstalled inorder to reinstall now I can't reinstall it I keep getting this message
native_error=5039, msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size.
I've created a database design and I'm trying to figure out if it's workable or not. I have 2 tables in particular that are sparse (20 columns, but only a few have data - about 100 bytes/row) but will grow very large - to the tune of 700 million rows.
My question is whether or not there is a problem with SQL Server 2005 having 1.5+ billion rows of data even though it will likely only take up 100 gigs or so on disk. Anyone have experience in large numbers of rows like this? We're still doing testing as far determining how slow queries will get.
I have a SQL Server 2005 database installed, serving as back-end DB, for an ASP.Net 2 application. Currently the database size is nearly 800Mb with recovery mode set to Simple. Every single day a maintenance job runs shrinking the db size, reorganizing indexes and statistics, etc.
Since I'm not an expert in SQL Server Administration I'm trying to figure out if this space is really necessary. The previous version of this application was running under PHP5 and MySql 4. After a year, with pretty much the same load as the current version, the database size was arround 370Mb. With the SQL Server it's already -800Mb after 3 months.
Pretty much my guess is that I'm doing something wrong. I just don't have any idea of what might be going on. If one of you guys could throw in some ideas on how to check if this size was really necessary and, if not, how to reduce it, I'd be very thankful.
