Thread: How many clients can one database server handle

How many clients can one database server handle

From

I am aware of the max_connections and recompiling the kernel (FreeBSD),
but how many connections can one database server handle without
degrading performance to much.
I am in a situation where I can end up in handling thousands of
connections, not doing much load each, but they are connected.

Of course this depends on many things, but what are your experiences ?


Thanks
