Guys,
I have question regarding no of Databases we can have per server group.

I am concerned that if I have more no of databases per server group that there would be a problem with the resources
allocation like (memory) and performance of the databases

Can you guys suggest me or direct me to any resources which says I should have more than 'N' no of databases per server group.

Thanks

What do you mean by server group? Are you referring to Enterprise Manager?

According to the topic "Maximum Capacity Specifications" in BOL, there is a hard limit of 32,767 databases per instance of SQL Server. How close you can get to that, and still have happy users, will depend on your hardware. I have one server with around 50 databases that is perfectly content with its load, if that helps. I am sure that pales in comparisson to some of the other folks around here.
