Is the max limit of 4 GB on sql server 2005 express .mdf + .ldf or for .mdf only ? Kindly clarify. Thanks.

+3  A: 

MDF + NDF's - basically the data files.

Logs dont count.

On 2008, File system store also does not count.

TomTom
can you elaborate FILE SYSTEM SORE ?

@TomTom: I'm sure you meant **FILESTREAM** storage - storing large files in the SQL Server filesystem under transactional control
marc_s
Yeah, sorry ;) FILESTREAM.
TomTom
so does FILESTREAM in sql server 2005 express count in the 4GB limit ?
HotTester
FILESTREAM does not exist in server 2005, it was a new feature for 2008

Which is pretty exactly why I said "on 2008" ;)
