Having the above option would be overall more useful to the entire
community. For those that want to limit the connections, pick No. For
users that like the current number of connections spawned, leave it as Yes.

PL/SQL Developer by All Around has this same option. Toad by Quest Software
has this option too. Most database IDEs have some sort of way to configure
the number of connections created by the tool.
