Hello John,
Thank you for posting here.
According to your description, I understand that you want to know the
database limitations of sharepoint in SBS 2003. If I have misunderstood the
problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Based on my research, by default, the sharepoint uses WMSDE database to
store information, the limitations of sharepoint depend on database
limitations. There is some info about WMSDE database limitations:
WMSDE
The MSDE version that ships with Windows SharePoint Services is called as
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (Windows)-(WMSDE). WMSDE and has
no storage limits unlike MSDE.
When you install Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services on a single server
using the defaults, you have an installation that uses Microsoft SQL Server
2000 Desktop Engine (Windows) (WMSDE) for your databases. This is fine in a
small-scale environment, when you are hosting just a few Web sites, but if
your server suddenly gets popular and you need to start hosting hundreds of
sites, you may run into performance and storage problems.
Below mentioned link provides more information on the above.

spx
Some of the WMSDE Limitations as follows.
1) Cannot use WMSDE for web farm setup.
2) WMSDE overcomes limitations that MSDE has (like 2GB size limit, number
of simultaneous connections). However you can't use it for anything else,
because you can only use it for a specified signed schema (WSS Schema).
3) No Full Text search.
4) The instance of WMSDE installed can be used only by WSS.
If you use SBS 2003 or SBS 2003 sp1, you can try to update your WMSDE
database to SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine

If you use SBS 2003 R2, you can try to update your WMSDE database to SQL
Server 2005 Workgroup Edition, please go through the following KB:
How to upgrade the initial release of Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2
to include the final release version of SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=924000
About SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition new features, please go through the
following page:
SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition Features Comparison page.

Hope info above will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Best regards,

| Are there any size or number of document limitations to Sharepoint
Services?
| Currently out site is maintained by the MSDE and not the full SQL engine.
| Are there any differences if the database is upgraded to SQL?

| Thanks,
