Just a quick correction.I was reading through BOA and found this statement

‘Use the user connections option to specify the maximum number of simultaneous user connections allowed on SQL Server. The default is zero, which means that unlimited user connections are allowed.’

This means that sql server can accept unlimited user connections.

Hi Pinal,

Could you please clarify this,and confirm if default user connection value,ie 0 means sql server will accept unlimited connections.

SQL server will allow 32767.This is the value returned by select @@max_connections.

This setting can be changed using sp_configure ‘user connections’.

I dont think 60000 users can connect simultaneously to sql server.

I am novice to SQL Server DBA . i have one doubt. Can we connect more then 60000 user in sql server 2005? if, possible what is the mechanism using it. i have studied that maximum 32767 user can connect.

The model database log filled the local drive and SQL Server stopped. hen we tried to start it in single user mode the application would quickly grab a connection. To add to our misery the vendor’s technical support also tried to move the model log file which fortunately they could not. Eventually our Database Manager instructed everyone to stop troubleshooting and opened an isql window ready to run the backup and then started SQL Server in single user mode using isql with the command sqlservr.exe –c –m”isql” –T3608. After the model backup with no log was taken, the SQL Server was back in operation though the vendor could not give us an idea as to what they did to fill the log file.

This will be little risky,it is always good not to change Model database recovery model.

This is absolutely correct,there is no point to take full backup of Model on daily basis.

Unfortunately even our netbackup team was doing it and now it was decided to exclude it.

Thanks for bringing this up.

You should also note that changing the recovery model of the Model database will change the default recovery model of any database that is created after. So if you change Model to SIMPLE mode, and then manually create a database and don’t specify a recovery model, it will be SIMPLE by default.
