SQL Service stops if more than 5 concurrent users access one DB

  • Hi,

    When more than 5 users access one DB in SQL Express 2005 through a Visual Basic 2005 application, the SQL Service stops! Then I manually restart the service and it keeps running until the 5 concurrent users access the system again.

    Is this normal? Is there something I can do to prevent this?

    Thank you,

    Renato.

  • SQL Express doesn't do well with more than 1 or 2 users. Shouldn't stop, but I bet if you check the error logs, you'll find some high-severity issue coming up.

    For low-end databases with 5-10 users, I'd generally go with Workgroup, over Express.

  • Can you check it restrictions apply to the number of user connections ?

    /* "user connections" is an advanced config setting

    enable show advanced options */

    exec sp_configure 'show advanced options' , 1

    reconfigure

    go

    /*results (on my dev-edtn server)

    Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.

    */

    /* show config value */

    exec sp_configure 'user connections'

    go

    /*results (on my dev-edtn server)

    name minimum maximum config_value run_value

    ----------------------------------- ----------- ----------- ------------ -----------

    user connections 0 32767 0 0

    */
