  • SQL Server Express can handle multiple databases each up to 4Gb in size (this excludes logfiles).

    I think the 1Gb limit that you mentioned refers to the fact that SQL Server Express can only access 1Gb of server RAM.

  • Hi,

    yes i checked the database limit it is 4GB now what i am confused about is can i have multiple database in which each can expand to 4gb or all the database sizes added together shouldn't increase 4GB.

    PLease recommend

    Thanx ltoso

  • No one database in Express can be larger than 4 GB, but there is no limit on the number of databases you can use in Express.
