It sounds like you are not properly closing your connections, statements, or something like that.
We're using SQL Server 2000 and process over 100 million DB operations a month with no issues.
One
word of caution, eventhough many people say you do not have to close Statements, PreparedStatements, or CallabelStatements before closing Connections: do it. It does matter. Don't leave it up to the driver to handle this. We've found vast differences in how drivers handle this, especially the MS Type 3 Driver, which is aweful BTW.
