How much data can SQL hold?
SQL Server Standard Edition has an upper limit of 524 Petabytes, but it is not free. If your database reaches the limit of your SQL Server Express version, you will begin to experience errors due to the inability of the database tables to accept new data.
Does SQL use Apis?
SQL API v2 CARTO’s SQL API allows you to interact with your tables and data inside CARTO, as if you were running SQL statements against a normal database. You can use the SQL API to insert, update or delete data, or to select data from public tables in order to use it on your website or application.
Can a rate limit be set on an API?
If the rate-limited API is accessed via some form of backend process, it’s decidedly easier to limit the API queries using the backend code. Say your API only allows 20 requests per second. You can set up a process that only allows 20 requests a second to pass through.
Why are Service protection API limits based on per user?
Because the service protection API limits are based on a per user basis, portal applications can hit service protection API limits based on the amount of traffic the portal experiences. Like interactive client applications, it isn’t expected that the service protection API limits errors should be displayed to the portal end user.
Why are there API limits for interactive clients?
The limits should not affect normal users of interactive clients. Only client applications that perform extraordinary API requests should be affected. The limits provide a level of protection from random and unexpected surges in request volumes that threaten the availability and performance characteristics of the Microsoft Dataverse platform.
What happens if there are too many requests to an API?
To prevent an API from being overwhelmed, API owners often enforce a limit on the number of requests, or the quantity of data clients can consume. This is called Application Rate Limiting. If a user sends too many requests, API rate limiting can throttle client connections instead of disconnecting them immediately.
