Timeless MSDE database


MSDE is a free version SQL Server 2000 with some internal limitations.  There is a limit of 5 concurrent database processes executing simultaneously.  This usually will not have an impact even in large installations.  If many users were to run reports at the same time, you may see some performance degradation. 

Database file sizes are also limited to 2GB.  Database growth can vary greatly depending on how you use Timeless Time & Expense.  We estimate anywhere from 1-10MB growth per user per year.  We suggest checking the growth every 6-12 months to get a better estimate of your actual usage.

You will need to use a separate tool to backup your database.

Timeless MSDE is a separate installation that will install a MSDE and create an initial Timeless database.  You should install the Timeless MSDE database server on a server machine, not a workstation.  This will ensure the database is always available.  The server does not have to be dedicated to Timeless, but we recommend it be at least 400mhz with 32mb of memory beyond that required for other machine processes.  More memory or a faster processor will be required for larger installations and will provide increased performance.
