If we're going to do something like that, I'd rather see it exposed as a more general "at most N connections" knob, where the user could choose N. There are plenty of other scenarios where such a restriction could be useful --- for instance, "make check" runs up against max-processes-per-user limits on a number of platforms. I would also rather that the user be forced to supply that number, to make certain he realizes that he's got a very low number-of-connections resource limit. Sweeping such problems under the rug is exactly what "make check" should not do. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
