Just a quick one this. Is MSDE limited to 5 concurrent queries per database, per instance, or per processor/machine?

Regards.

It is limitted to 5 concurrent workloads (nothing to do with connections) - I think it is actually around 10 to allow for system processes.
If this is exceeded then the server is goverened to progressively slow down which might mean that more workloads come in and you end up getting slower and slower.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy.
 
Cheers for the reply, but does that happen for each instance, database, or processor/machine?

It's per instance.

Cheers for the help.
