we have this application (using jboss/java/hibernate) on linux accessing data on 3 postgres database servers using 8.4.1. One of our many concerns has been the way we handle connections to the database. java/hibernate handle their own pooling so I understand that using anything else is out of the question. Our jboss configuration currently defaults to 5 connections per database. On our main database server, we handle 7 of the databases that this application uses. On this one server, we usually average around 300 - 500 connections to the server. In our postgres conf file on this particular machine we set the max_connection parameter to 1000. If we set it to much lower we end up with connection errors. Any comments or better way to handle this? thanks, Maria Wilson NASA, Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia 23666 |
