Hello All,

I have a question about how big of an intranet site can be hosted using SQL 2005 Express.  I am a student and working on an internship project for a company intranet.  I have used DNN in the past and recommended it to the project head as a content management system.  What the company is concerned about is whether or not DNN with SQL 2005 Express is a viable long term solution.  I know that SQL 2005 Express is limited to 1 CPU, 2 GB RAM, and 4GB database size.  My question is how large of an intranet can run on the 4 GB size limit?  What data is actually stored in the database?  Are uploaded graphics, documents, modules, skins stored in the database?  They have several hundred documents, do these have to be uploaded into the file manager?  The company really likes the DNN envrionment I showed them, but they do not want to pay for SQL 2005.  Unless I can assure them that SQL 2005 Express can handle it, we may have to look at Mambo.  If anyone can share some insites, it would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

Aaron

Aaron - what version of DNN are you using? I'm trying to find out if DNN3.x is compatable with SQL 2005 Express. Do you know? DNN4.0 isn't quite there yet, it seems to lack many of the modules....
