A fellow MVP whose judgement I have very good faith in, told me of a client
that had 5000 databases on the same server. (And set to auto-close as I
recall.)

In that case it was some sort of an application provider, where each client
has its own database. And I would assume that the same is true in Sven's
case.

But you are right that you are probably best off gettings some tools to
administer that situations.
