How many connections can a Postgres database support and how do you set this parameter. Is there some sort of multithreading in Postgres and how do you implement it.

 

Thanks,

Graham

  You can set the maximum number of concurrent
connection by editing the section MAX_CONNECTION in
postgresql.conf.

  Postgres will fork a new process whenever there is a
new client connection to the database.

That's either up to you or up to your hardware. The "max connections" is
specified in postgresql.conf. The default is 64. I don't know if there is a
hard limit.
