How is the 4 GB limit of SQL server express calculated

Hi
I wonder how the 4 GB limit is found.
Is it the size of the datafile only, or does the size also inlcude the
transaction log?

Hello,
The 4 GB database size limit applies only to data files and not to log (LDF)
files. However, there are no limits to the number of databases
that can be loaded/created to the SQL server instance.
Thanks
