I'm not a 100% sure but when i type : select count (*) from pg_stat_activity; in postgres it give me the a number be 3 or 75 or higher depending on what is runnung at the time if its the webpage with the map or just postgres itself. I had thought that the client connections to PgBouncer and pool connections from PgBouncer to Postgres server was pretty much the same the same thing. that could also be a problem maybe i'm not understanding the full length of the connection term to well. I just know that I have been struggleing with this for a few days now and am still have not come to much closer to understanding it (i think). The pdf part that I had read that showed you how to set it up and shows you the command section on the show pools and all. I had did that. but will check it out again then. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Explanantion-on-pgbouncer-please-tp5776515p5776522.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
