Is there a limit to the number of SOQL queries that can be executed within some time frame?
I have a requirement to implement short polling using JS Remoting. I've looked into long polliing using the streaming API but it does not seem like a reliable solution for my use case. I would like to poll the server every X minutes. Is there a limit to the number of SOQL queries that can be executed?

SOQL limits are per transaction. However there is no limit mentioned in any SF docs which mentions on daily or time-based limits. However if you are running these SOQLs via SOAP or REST calls, then you may end up with API Request limit which is on a daily basis. If you are running it via Apex, then I dont see any issues unless you are crossing the API request limit which is 15000 calls for Developer Orgs.
