Restrict number of connections to a databse.

Hi
Is there anyway I can restrict the number of connections to a SQL Server
database ?
How can we do that.?
Also what is the best way to find out number of current connections to the
database using a query ?
Thanksselect @.@.maxconnections
can be set using sp_configure
sp_who and sp_who2 show you the number of connections

You can restrict the connections only SQL Server wide not database level.
How can we do that.?
SP_configure 'user connections',numberofconnections
(By default it is 0 and allow maximum)
Also what is the best way to find out number of current connections to the
database using a query ?
select substring(db_name(dbid),1,30) as DB_name ,count(*) as Connection
from sysprocesses
group by substring(db_name(dbid),1,30)
Thanks

not at a database level, thus sp_configure 'show advanced'
,1 must be set inorder to be able to view and set this option.
also to finding the current active connections can be done by using sp_who2
active
this shows you the active users only.
