Limits of IIS?
Hi,
I am working on a web-based solution. Our solution serves different binary files (PDF, DOC, etc.) saved as BLOB in our Oracle server. The user requests for a file, we serve that file by fetching it from the DB and rendering it in the user's browser. Now! the question is:
1) What is the limit of IIS in such a scenario? How many simultaneous users can download files from our site? I guess this will depend on the size of file being served and on some other criteria too maybe, but what is the exact limit? I need a number....
2) How to change that limit? I have explored the IIS Manager but no apparent setting was available. I am using IIS 5.1. Where can I tweak quotas and stuff for my website users?
I will be glad if I can get any guidance in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

I agree on the Oracle part. But the question remains intact ... whats the limit? How many users with a 1mb file for instance? ... Must I do the stress test to find that out?
Can you please point out the registry key more clearly.
Thanks.

Fine points, gentlemen. What about Oracle? Is there some limitation imposed by the database system, such as the max number of simultaneous database requests from IIS (from multiple simultaneous users)? We are using 10g. I suppose its designed for heavy usage and wont get bogged down by any number of user request, no matter how larger the blob is being requested (Dave's point). Am I correct in this semi-assumption?
Any further pointers will help me finalize this thread.
Thanks again.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
