for some reason it not always pooling the connections for reuse so I'm not sure what or if I have left something out. As I only have a 100 postgres connections and when you have six people working on it at the same time the connections neary go all the way. Which in turn starts making pink tiles from geoserver so then its not reading the data properly. Geoserver itself seems to use 17 connections from postgres which is reading the 17 different tables that each layer reads to create the map. has it some thing to do with geoserver do I need to change something there first. I can extend the max connections in postgres but if we ended up having alot more people looking at the map I'm not to sure where the balance would be. It seems for each person that they seem to get about +-20 or more connections each depending on there use of the map if they add the layers that are overlyed over the map like zones etc... -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Connection-pooling-tp5776378p5776498.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
