Hi,

I need to limit the terminal that can connect to my DB. For instance, if the limit is 10 terminal then only 10 terminal that can connect to the DB server, the 11th terminal would be rejected. I cannot just hardcoded the terminal name. If 1 terminal create 2, 3 or even 10 connections to DB server, then it would still count as 1 terminal only.
Is there any easy way to do this without using any code ?

Regards,

Mike

No. You would need to code for this.

I can create code by using sp_who then count how many terminal connected. Is there any other simpler way ?

not sure but if you restrict the number of connections to the entire server, will that do?

note: this is for entire server not just the database concerned

To Bustaz Kool : Maybe just like a schedule an store procedure that run every let say 1 minute to check how many terminal are connected then if the number is beyond the limit, kill the last connect terminal.

To jen : Can I parameterize the setting, maybe by lookup from table ?
