I'm working on a VB.NET project where we are intending to use MSDE as our
back-end database. The actual number of users is expected to be low and I
don't have any concerns as to whether MSDE will be up to the job (most of
the time). I'm aware that if we end up with lots of users connecting to our
site at once (which may happen as certain times in the year when people need
information for deadlines) then the performance governor in MSDE will kick
in and slow everything down.
What I don't know is how do I find out whether the performance governor has
kicked in?
I would like to know how to monitor this so we can make an educated decision
as to when we need to migrate to a full version of SQL Server (if at all).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding this out?
thanks,
Brian Cryer.
