We are in need to process 100 million rows with size 20 -25 GB.
We have planned to use SQL Server Management Studio for processing, but don't know the capacity of SQL Server Management Studio. What is the maximum number of rows supported by SQL Server Management Studio?
Much bigger than that (524,272 terabytes to be exact). The main question would be one of disk space, max file size, filegrowth options, etc. I work with databases well in excess of a terrabyte, so 25GB shouldn't nake SQL flinch (unless you're using Express edition, where I think the cap is a puny 1GB)

I have a strange situation on a SQL Server 2014 Express edition server. The database reached 10 GB limit, but it continued to auto-grow the data file to a current size of 80 GB. There are a lot of auto-growing events.
I checked sp_spaceused and I have a few unallocated MB, also checked sys.master_files. In logs, I get the error:
CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed your licensed limit of 10240 MB per database.
How can the data file grow beyond 10 GB? What am I missing?
I have a scenario where an application server saves 15k rows per second in SQL Server database. At first initial hours machine is still usable but whenever the database size increases ~20gig, it seems that machine is becoming unusable.
I saw some topics/forums/answers/blogs suggesting to limit the max memory usage of SQL Server. Any thoughts on this?
Btw, using SQL Bulkcopy to insert rows in the database.
I have two suggestions for you:
1 - Database settings:
When you create the database, try to use a large initial size, and consider to have a bigger autogrowth percentage/size.
You will want to minimize the times your filegroups need to grow.
2 - Server settings:
In your SQL Server settings I would recommend that you remove one logical processor from the SQL Server. The OS will use this processor when the SQL Server is busy with heavy loads on the other processors. In my experience, this usually gives a nice boost to the OS .
CREATE DATABASE MYDB
USE MYDB
My question is what is the maximum size that can accommodate in the MYDB database .?
Have a look at
Maximum Capacity Specifications for SQL Server
Database size:
524,272 terabytes
Database size maximum size is 524,272 terabytes

Maximum database size can be 524,272 terabytes in Enterprise edition. Note that a single data file can exceed 16 TB.
In Sql Server Express edition maximum database size is 10 GB.
I have been using SQL CE as my database system, but for further functionality I am now switching to SQL Express. While running the first test, I found that the SQL Express 2005 database reached 4GB within one day, whereas a SQL CE database with similar size of data is only around 1GB.
I later tested in another system with SQL Express 2008, where the database size was still bigger than the CE version, but not as much as the above.
I tried shrinking database using SQL Management Studio, but it only reduced from 4096mb to 4095.55mb. I have learned that SQL Express databases requires extra space for performing its operations, but I don't think that should be 4 times and in one day. What should I look for?
Check the the minimum size you specified when you create your databases.Check your database growth settings etc.minimum size of a database is specified when the database was originally created, or the last size set by using a file-size-changing operation, such as DBCC SHRINKFILE. For example, if a database was originally created with a size of 4GB and grew to 4.1 GB, the smallest size the database could be reduced to is 4GB, even if all the data in the database has been deleted.
I need to know if the "Backup Database Task" in MS SQL Management Studio, maintenance plans, takes the free space into account or that it only backsup the data part.
For e.g. if the db size is 100 MB where 60Mb is data and 40Mb is free space. Will take the backup of the whole db of size 100 or that it will take backup of the 60Mb data.
I couldn't find this info on MS site.
MOVED TO:
Microsoft Sql Server Managment studio backup size goes negative
Backing up the database will only backup the actual data not the free space.
Not sure why you have mentioned "Create Database Task" though?
