Hi, i use persitent connections and limit them for example to pgsql.max_persistent = 32 if all connections are in use a new http call to my script's pg_pconnect results in waiting for a free slot. That's fine, because usually a slot is getting free within a second. But if my server is much more overloaded and it would take more than 5 seconds to wait for a free slot it doesnt make sense to wait, because the user would hit stop anyway without getting a serious error message. it would be nice to have a timeout value after which pg_pconnect returns with an error, so could show a nice error page telling the user to try again in a few minutes. i found the php directive mysql.connect_timeout which does exactly what i want. There is no such directive for pgsql. I tried pgpool searching in pgpool for a connection timeout directive, but i didn't found one. It would be so nice to have a timeout of 3 seconds and after it display an error message to the user instead of let him waiting and waiting. Does anybody has any hints to solve this problem? kind regards janning
