sql server clustering : Share Database with 2 SQL Servers.

Hi,

Is it possible to have 2 sql servers inserting into the same database. In
my specific case, the servers would be inserting to different tables and
there would be no overlap. I don't want to split the database because
reporting would be based on data from the whole database. I guess this is
kind of likc load balancing.

Thanks!
Jack

No. Each SQL Server\instance has exclusive control over its databases.

Damn! At least I know this ahead of time. Our db has almost no indexes
(just the primary keys really) and because of the 900 byte index limit I
can't create indexes on the fields that we would be frequently searching
on. But at least since have have few indexes and rows don't go through
multiple table joins, we should have high insert rates.

I didn't know about sqlpass.org. Thanks for the tip!

Why would you need more than 900 bytes in an index key? Anything that large
really needs to go to full-text search instead.
