Support Forum for database administrators and web based access to important newsgroups related to databasesSQL Server 2000 Enterprise SP3a Is there a limit on the number of logins that can be created?
Post Follow-up to this messageProbably 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. -- Andrew J.

Post Follow-up to this messageWe hit the limit at 16k. They lifted it in SQL 2005. -- Tom ---------------------------------------------------- Thomas A.

Post Follow-up to this messageMaximum 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.

Post Follow-up to this messageThe 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.

Post Follow-up to this messageThere's a difference between logins and connections. The OP asked about logins. -- Tom ---------------------------------------------------- Thomas A.

Post Follow-up to this message:) 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...
