Linux or Solaris should be able to support 500-1000 simultaneous connections, depending on how much RAM you have and what your clients are doing." Our web site often had about 1000 user sessions at once. I thought we seemed to see a lower limit (at least on Redhat 6.1/2) although its probable that my knowledge of exactly what a MySQL connection actually is is hazy (I am sure I saw a 255 number somewhere). Does anyone know how many simultaneous connections PostgresSQL, Oracle and Sybase support, since I am too lazy to google? -- 1024/D9C69DF9 steve mynott [EMAIL PROTECTED] the steady state of disks is full. -- ken thompson
