Limits on Number of database...

I have created "around 25 excluding system databases" number of databases in
one SQL server instance. Is there any limits on number of SQL server
databases which affects the performance of SQL Server.
I am using SQL 2K.
Thanks,

It depends..
How heavily is each database used?
How big is your system (processors, memory etc.).
It's not really the number of databases that is an issue, but rather how
they are being used. One thing to note however is that with a lot of
databases, it may take longer for the SQL Server to come back online as it
does some work with each database when the system is restarted.

Limiting large queries in AS2005?

Does anyone know of a way to stop large queries from running on an AS2005 instance, similar to the SQL2005 'query governor cost limit' configuration option? I want to stop users running large queries from apps like Excel, and bringing the server to a grinding halt.

Thanks

The only thing that I am aware of that comes close to this is the query timeout parameter see: http://cwebbbi.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7B84B0F2C239489A!932.entry unfortunately it is retrospective in that it will not evaluate the cost of the query before it runs, rather if the query has been running for too long it will kill it.

Limited Remote Login db access

I have connected my desktop and laptop computer at home, on my desktop I have a series of db's under my default named instance <computername>/sqlexpress and I have created access logins using windows auth. When I connect to the desktop from the laptop using tcp:<computername>\sqlexpress\userid I can only see the system db's...I am trying to view adventure works, which I can see on the desktop fine using the same login...any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob

Do you have a domain controller and home network?

If not, then you must create use SQL logins -you cannot use Windows authentication without an Active Directory (domain controller).

|||

I don't even know what those things mean.

How would I go about doing this with SQL logins?

Rob

|||

I suggest you follow the steps under "To configure AdventureWorks to work with Web server controls" on the following page from the Books Online.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms310325(vs.80).aspx

Hopefully this helps,

John

So I read over the link provided...

I have completed the first part and added it to the server. I can access the database on my desktop machine, when I login from the laptop however (using the same windows login) I can't access to database...do I need to also add something to make it accessible remotely? I don't really understand what "configure AdventureWorks to work with Web server controls
" means..

These resources might help.

Configuration -Configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914277

Configuration -Connect to SQL Express from "downlevel clients"
http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2004/07/23/192044.aspx

|||

I have done this...as I stated before I can connect fine its just that I can't see anything other than system db's...I imagine I'm missing something stupid, like perhaps I didn't configure the login correctly?

Rob

|||

The login needs to be provided permission to access the databases.

Add the login to the appropriate database role.

|||

Ok first...I am running XP home on both the desktop and laptop...and the logins are windows auth.

if I want full access from the remote connection, where do I change the role of the login? is it in the login menu or the databases menu?

Rob

Look back at the first response given to your problem.

Windows authentication will not work in your situation -you do not have a domain controller.

You will need to establish SQL Logins in each server, and assign permissions accordingly.

Look in Books Online about creating SQL Logins.
