Although SQL Server Express is limited in scalability, a common misconception is that its
limited to a single database or 10 connections. Neither of these is true. SQL Server
Express can support multiple databases where each database can be up to 10GB. The
myth about the number of connections is probably a holdover from the early days of
MDSE (Microsoft Database Enginethe first version of the desktop SQL Server Engine
that was released in the SQL Server 2000 timeframe.)
SQL Server 2012 Express has no limits on incoming connections or workload other than
the CPU and memory limitations. And it comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Y ou
can download all of the SQL Server 2012 Express editions from Microsofts website.
