Re: Something unusual has occured to cause the driver to fail

Hi Juan,

You can also look at the file "postgresql.conf" which is in the
PostgreSQL "data" directory. This has a parameter which specifies the
maximum number of connections PostgreSQL allows simultaneously, and is
read at PostgreSQL startup.

I've personally benchmarked PostgreSQL running with over 100
simultaneous connections, so it definitely works.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
