I think I have found the problem. PgAdmin will save open tabs from one session to the other. These seem to accumulate and each one opens a connection. After a while, there are so many that pgAdmin can't even open.

You may need to crank up the statement logging if they are mostly SELECTs. 3) What version of pgAdmin? 4) Do you have jobs set up with pgAgent? 6) How many servers do you have set up and do they have queries in Post Connection SQL tab? > > Best regards, > Mark Brady > _amazon.com/author/markjbrady <https://amazon.com/author/markjbrady>_ -- Adrian Klaver [email protected]
