Database Queries

Hello,

I am looking for some guidlines on what is an acceptable ammount of database queries. The site I am building for my place of employment is done with Joomla!, and I want to make sure that I am not bogging the server with too many queries from modules etc.
The site has not officially gone live yet, however, I noticed quite a bit of queries just from testing the site. I am a little worried about how much dabase usage is going to increase once we get some visitors/user.
I am still new to mySQL, and I just need some pointers on what is accetable usage.

Thanks

As with CPU usage, DreamHost really doesn't have a limit:

If you are looking for an "in general" figure, there isn't really one to give. Sites have different uses and needs, so the number of queries a given site uses varies greatly. If it is largely a Joomla page, I wouldn't anticipate any trouble.
