in this blog post , let’s find out few the limitations of sql server express edition .

what are the limitations of sql server express edition ?

the express edition of the sql server works great for most of the scenarios like the higher version of sql server but some of the limitations include

  • maximum memory utilized by sql server database engine is 1gb .
  • maximum size of the each relational database is 10 gb.
  • no sql profiler
  • dedicated admin connection under trace flag
  • single cpu (prior to 2008 r2 express).
  • maximum number of sql server express instances = 16 on a machine.

until now , sql server express edition has been working well for me and i plan to try out the higher version of sql server in sometime :)
