Re: SQL Express Connection String Limit

Not really. The number of connections the server can managed is around 32,000 IIRC (if not more) but you'll exhaust the server's ability to service that many connections long before you reach the limit. SQL Express places no limit on the number of connections--just on the amount of system resources that can be applied to the threads they start. Most heavily used servers (ASP.NET architectures) typically service no more than a couple dozen connections at a time. However, this is not to say that only 24 users can connect--it means that at any point in time there are only a couple dozen clients actually doing work.

What's your concern?
