What about SQL2005 embedded (Windows Internal DB/WYukon) rathern than express - no limit AFAIK if you have the right Server (2008) and you have it on the same box as wss3 - it is free with unlimited storage. Also, Express 2008 now comes with a 10GB limit - so RBS may not be needed. And Free EBS (deprecated, but still used widely) providers are out there if you must stay on SQL 2005. However, better off to move to a newer platform if possible, and RBS can get you ouf of an specific DB size issue as long as you plan your backups well and understand its limitations. Not a lot of people seem to know all this, which is strange! Mike.

I will need to set up a testing envrionment to ensure that SQL 2005 Express can be upgraded to SQL 2008 Express seamlessly! (If you guys have any links/tips, let me know!)

Then your database will not be so big etc. Regards, Tom Bizannes SharePoint and SQL Specialist From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Uzma Naz Sent: Monday, 7 February 2011 10:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: WSS 3.0 SQL Express 4GB limit Hi there, I was wondering.. is it possible to create a new content database to generate a further 4GB of space within a stand alone, WSS 3.0 environment with SQL Express installed?
