I realize it all has to do with how much ram, disk space,
cpu, etc.. but is there a maximum number of databases you
should have on 1 database server? Here are some specs:
2cpu's @1ghz
2 gb ram
plenty of disk space
clustered
The problem is that mgmt keeps putting more and more db's
on this server (there are over 60). Every day the error
log has to be deleted because it is too large to open.
Mgmt now wants reasons why NOT to put any more db's on
this server. They are koo koo.
Thanks.
