Hi - I have a small web app that's a simple web form populating a 7-column sql db by calling a sproc. That's it - only writes, nothing else except for a weekly, one-time count() query. If this Web site is going to get, potentially, several thousand users hitting it in a very short amount of time (even all at once), can sql 2005 handle that many inserts happening all at once? Or do I need to take any high-availability steps? Thanks for helping a noob who's trying to do the right thing!

it can handle it easily, but i would plan on archiving data after some specified period of time.

also, don't do a count(*) instead

SELECT Distinct rows FROM sys.partitions WHERE object_id = object_id('YourTableName')

This will make a difference once your table grows large
