sql server msde : MSDE Performance Against Concurrent Access

Hello,

Can anybody tell me about your own experience using IIS
with MSDE as repository?

Would the concurrent access of the anonymous internet user
to the MSDE engine affect its performance if the
concurrent access reach more than 5 at a time?

Im planning to deploy an Intranet Application for
consultant office and Im affraid the MSDE to cause a
dregradation in performance if it gets more than 5
concurrent access.

Thx in Advance.

As Andrea said, there is no fixed number of users. It's like asking how many
orders can a fry cook work at the same time? It's a function of how
efficiently each order is processed. How fast is the CPU? How much RAM is
available to cache the data and procedures? How fast is the hard disk? How
much data is being shipped to and from the server? How efficient is the
query or update? A single application can bring a standard edition SQL
Server to its knees if you knew what to ask for. A thousand clients an hour
might not cause the MSDE engine to kick into governor mode. It all
depends...

you simply have to test, becouse no other project will be the same as your,
depending on the base schema, coding conventions, transactions lengths,
objects involved, data involved and so on...
usually it' said that MSDE can afford about 25 concurrent users, but this is
not a magic number, only a guess

Thx Andrea, Thx William,

Since u told me, I've made some test on the SQL model I
have running and the queries use to take just 1/100 sec (I
use to have up to 10 queries in chain per ASP page) due to
the volume of the info related (this intranet wouldnt
reach 100.000 records total in 38 tables, ever I think)
and the easyness of the queries (it has as maximum 2
subqueries) but there is more inner joins, up to 5 in the
same query, there is also 100's of relations between the
tables (38 total tables).

I think this information make sence to migrate the model
to MSDE and use it without translating the cost of a SQL
licence to my client since it wouldnt worth it.

Any other sugest?

Thx in advance...

1) MSDE is free
2) JET is not intended for use in a web site for several reasons.
3) JET will outperform MSDE for some queries but it does not scale.
4) See 1.
