We are running PostreSQL 8.4.3 32bit on Windows 2003.
Clients use PsqlODBC 8.04.0200.
I cannot reproduce this. I can open 10 linked tables (all are in the
same database) and leave them open, I only see one connection open on
the server.

We link the tables using some VBA DAO code (we've been doing it with ADO
also, works the same), not with a System DSN. Maybe this is where the
different behaviour comes from ?
