Set Max SQL Server Connections Guide

The maximum concurrency of SQL Server is determined by its configuration and hardware resources, and can be set in several ways.

1. To change the maximum number of connections in the database connection pool, you can adjust the configuration parameters of the pool, such as specifying the maximum connection value in the connection string.
2. Set the maximum number of working threads for the SQL Server instance can be done through either SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or Transact-SQL commands to enhance concurrency processing capabilities.
3. Adjusting the allocation of system resources: It is possible to enhance the server’s concurrency capacity by adjusting the distribution of hardware resources, such as increasing CPU and memory resources.
4. By using partitioning and indexes, the occurrence of database locks and deadlocks can be reduced, thereby increasing the concurrency processing capacity of the database.

The maximum number of concurrent users should be set based on specific requirements and server configurations to avoid setting it too high, which could result in excessive server load and impact system performance.
