  • RE: Celko - Division with a Remainder - Whaaaa?

    The queries aren't nested in the order you would expect.

  • RE: Limit on connections

    Connection pooling isn't handled by the database engine, it's handled by a higher level of code.

    The upper limit on connections, if you set it to 0, is 32,767, per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143432.aspx.
