As I understand it, even if there are no idle connections available we'll get the benefit of putting a turnstile on the butcher's door. I also ordered the book as soon as you mentioned - the title alone was enough to sell me on it! The book won't be for the errant sys admin who increased the connections, it's for me - I'll use it to whack the sys admin on the head. Thanks fo rthe tip, the author owes you a beer - as do I. Will the book recommend any particular connection pooler product, or is it inappropriate to ask for a recommendation on the forum? Carlo I'd start with the pg_bouncer: very simple to setup, reliable, no "extra" functionality, which seems by your message you don't need.
