How many SQL agent jobs can we run simultaneously?

  • Good Morning Experts, 
    How many SQL agent jobs can we run simultaneously?

  • The snide response is all of them.  It really depends on the resources available on the server as well as if there are any inter-dependencies between the the jobs.

  • The only limiting factor is SQL Agent will not start a job if it is already running, so even if a job is scheduled to run at 4:00, if someone manually started it or a previous schedule started it and it was still running when 4:00 came around, it won't start another occurrence of it.
