connections

Hi,
The documentation on MAX_CONNECTIONS mentions default of 32 connections and a compiled in hard upper limit of 1024 connections. It also mentions that it can be altered when compiling the server.

Does this mean that the upper limit can be increased to more than 1024 at the time of server startup?

what will be the typical number of concurrent users if the MAX_CONNECTIONS is kept at 32 ?

WIll appreciate quick reply,

Regards

Guess so, if the server (and the libraries which the server uses) have
been configured and compiled to support more than 1024 concurrent
connections.

Why would you want more than 1024 simultaneous connections to the same
database instance ? (Perhaps some connection pooling could help reduce
your requirements)

I'm not sure what you mean, but I'd suppose it would be between 0 and 32...
