about writes/sec SQL server

Hi Guys,
Do you know how many writes/sec SQL server is capable of performing
generally? Trying to work out what % of a DB we would be consuming. ThanksProbably many more than you will even need. But it is usually not SQL
Server that is the bottle neck. It is mostly the hardware that will
determine how many writes per second you can do.

The number of transactions/min depends on a lot of factrors:
- Hardware
- Infrastructure
- OS
- physical and logical design of the DB
- logical design and implementation of the transaction
- etc.
Usualy any RDBMS is implemented to give the most efficiency, but...

transactions per second. The TPC link that was given would be a good
resource but that does nothing to show how much your system will do.

How big are your transactions?
Are you committing 5 bytes or 5 gigabytes?
How many disks do you have?
How fast are they?
Quite seriously, your question is really a bit open ended.
Note, even with the TPC benchmarks that Andrew pointed you towards, that's
really a matter of "how much money you want to spend."
With more money, MS could probably post even better numbers. But until
someone betters them enough, they won't bother.

it doesn't take a kajillion dollars worth of hardware to get REALLY good
performance either!
