Max database size on SQL-SERVER7

Hello

Does anyone one know the max size of a database that I can create on
MS-SQL server 7. Have had any problems using databases near the max
size (slow performance, etc)
Thanks

Hi Helena,

According to Books Online, it's 1,048,516 TB which is definitely a big DB.
Yes definitely for DBs os this size, the hardware needs would change.

Backups are generally one of the biggest problems I've seen with VLDBs.

You have to have a backup/restore strategy that works for your business
rules.

If it takes 24 hours to restore your database and business rules require you
to back it up in less than 6, you'll have to change your infrastructure.

Generally performance comes down a LOT to design. Proper hardware can make
a huge difference, but even with extremely fast hardware, if you have a
lousy design and end up doing a table scan of a multigig DB, your
performance will suck.

On the other hand, if you have mediocre hardware, but you can do index
lookups for every query (as opposed to a table scan) you'll do a lot better.



Thanks
Helena

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...

Hi all, Could you please advise whether there are documents describing impact of MS SQL server 2005 database size on its performance? I have essentially two things in mind when writing the "database size": 1.) number of records stored within the database (e.g. one customer's account with 5,000 records vs. another account with 500,000 records.) 2.) physical database size (amount of data written to a disk volume) - e.g. one database of...
