asptoday_discuss thread: multi user at database


Message #1 by "Steven Van de Weyer" <vandeweyer.s@p...> on Tue, 2 Oct 2001 14:29:19
Hi,





I know this is a newby question, but you have to start somewhere.

What about if some people connect to your asp page at the same time... 

aren't there any conflicts at the database? What if 2 users hit the 

database at the sametime? Or does each session have it's own connection?

-So that there are actually several connections from your webserver to the 

DB...



I have a somewhat finished applic. but I haven't tested it on multi user 

usage (and I have little asp experience).



TIA, Stevie (Belgium).



BTW: for now I set my connectionstring in each page but plan to do this in 

an include file (or even in sub session_onstart)

Actually, the database will allow multiple connections - depending on the 

database.  Some databases do not really support more than a few 

connections comfortably (Access), while others can support much larger 

numbers of users(SQL).  Of course, much of this depends on the type of 

access to the database.  If it's only read access, you shouldn't 

experience any peformance issues - however, adding, changing and deleting 

records is another issue entirely.  Speed/performance can suffer if more 

users are accessing the database than the software can reasonably 

accomodate - but other than that, I have not experienced any problems 

using Access or SQL.

For the point to multi user at database, it's fine that you doing a 

include file to connecting to DB, SQL Server can manage that without 

big problems, only you have care the time of conection, by default is 

60 seconds, you can incrementate these using : 

Conn.ConnectionTimeout=(multiple of 60 seconds : 60, 120, 180 ... and 

so on)





bye.
