Data file
-
Is there any limit on the Data file size in SQL server. In oracle we do have a 2GB max size limit ( changed now to 4Gb but still it had problems and we had to go back to 2GB on NT). i am curious to know if there is a limit in SQL server also.
Thanks in advance for the help

SQL Server Architecture Maximum Capacity Specifications
The first table specifies maximum capacities that are the same for all editions of Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000. The second and third tables specify capacities that vary by edition of SQL Server 2000 and the operating system.
This table specifies the maximum sizes and numbers of various objects defined in Microsoft SQL Server databases, or referenced in Transact-SQL statements. The table does not include Microsoft® SQL Server 2000™ Windows® CE Edition.

The default packet size is 4 KB, and is controlled by the network packet size configuration option.
2 The maximum number of bytes in any key cannot exceed 900 in SQL Server 2000. You can define a key using variable-length columns whose maximum sizes add up to more than 900, provided no row is ever inserted with more than 900 bytes of data in those columns. For more information, see Maximum Size of Index Keys.
3 The size of a database cannot exceed 2 GB when using the SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine or the Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) 1.0.
4 Database objects include all tables, views, stored procedures, extended stored procedures, triggers, rules, defaults, and constraints. The sum of the number of all these objects in a database cannot exceed 2,147,483,647.
