In BOL there is a limit of 2G objects. Means it includes procedures, views, functions, indexes, tables. So, theoretically, if I will create only tables, the limit will be 2G tables.

An a limit of 10GB for data file.

Thank you

Do you know is there a limit of how many tables SQL Server Express is able to handle?

I was trying to use Databse Engine Tuning Advisor. But is is giving me an error when trying to open the trace file saying some trace defintion file is not there. I checked for the file in Windows Server 2008 machine. Even though msxml6.dll is there the tracedefinition file is not there. Please help me to resolve the issue and proceed with the analysis using DTA

The scope of what it can recommend is quite limited (i.e. indexes), and someone with good performance diagnosing skills will do a far better job in less time than it will take to run DTA.

Not all performance issues can be fixed by adding indexes – quite often the queries need to be modified as well.

If you’re currently relying on DTA, I’d highly recommend trying to live without it for a while and do your performance tuning manually. You’ll probably find you end up with much better results.

I agree it doesnot give 100% recommendation but it will give you an idea about where the issues are?? i would never implement them without first reviewing every suggestion.

When it was introduced I think I used it once and gave up and continued tuning queries by hand.

It has its place as a tool for non-technical people who might have to look after databases occasionally.

I interviewed candidates for a SQL Database Development position recently and one candidate pretty much ruled themselves out by stating that the Tuning Advisor would be their first step in diagnosing a poorly running query.

May I ask why you do not use SQL Database Engine Tuning Advisor?
Thanks.
