100+ participants on a survey was created by QueenBee
I am conducting a survey that will have 100-110 people registering their response. I am used to doing much smaller samples. Is there a limit on how many people can respond to a survey on Lime Survey?

Thanks!

Thanks Dennis. Not totally sure what you mean. I have limesurvey set up, and use it all the time. So will I be OK with having 100+ people give their feedback you think? Do you know if there are limits?

What Denis wants to say: If you are running your own Limesurvey instance on your server (in opposition to Limeservice, and similar) you can run as many surveys as you which. That said, there are of course still some limits you could run into:
- Number of concurrent users (depends very much on your server and network setup, so no one can really know this)
- Number of total questions (also not a Limesurvey limit, but rather a limit of the used database)
- Number of total responses per survey (this also depends on the data base, but you should not run into this problem because the number of lines is going probably into the millions)

So: It should be no problem to get feedback from n=100 respondents, as long as the don't answer all at the same time, then your server might run into some limits. But as said above, no one can really know this, without knowing your server. And chances that all n=100 start all at the same time should be minotr.

Just an example: we have currently a long term survey for which we invited 20.000 people at the start (batched of 1000 per hour) and at the moment we have in the database more than 50.000 complete responses.

The only thing we ran into was the processor speed, since we did calculations based on all respondents: this ran out of hand after several hundred of responses due to so programming error on our side (not in LimeSurvey).

So short: yes it is possible and 100 is not really much on a normal server.
