Re: Maximum number of logins?
Probably 32K but I can't find any documentation on this.  More than likely
you will run into other problems before you run out of logins.  If you need
that many you really should be looking at using Windows Logins anyway.

Re: Maximum number of logins?
We hit the limit at 16k.  They lifted it in SQL 2005.

RE: Maximum number of logins?
Maximum user connection is, 32767 with 37KB of memory per user. Our server
settings is set for 1000 connection as per business requirement. You can
change that using sp_configure in Advanced option, use reconfigure after tha
t
and it will take effect only after a reboot.

RE: Maximum number of logins?
The maximum user connection is, 32767 with 37K memory for each connection.
Ours is 1000 depending on business requirement. You can change the number of
connection using sp_configure advanced option enabled and reconfigure. Do a
restart to make the change into effect.

Thanks,
Sree

Re: Maximum number of logins?
There's a difference between logins and connections.  The OP asked about
logins.

Re: Maximum number of logins?
:) oopsss sorry....

Breaking my head i feel, its the maximum number of rows that a table can
have. i.e for syslogins table. Because its where the login details are kept.
And the maximum number of rows for a table in turn is "Limited by available
storage". So that might be the answer, iam not sure if there is any fixed
limit for maximum number of logins...

Thanks,
Sree
