Re: error message...

Hi Sven,

There is a startup option, "-N" of how many clients are allowed to be
connected simultaneously.  The default is 32 in the source code, not
sure if SuSE has it changed.

You can also alter the default maximum before compiling it, but I get
the feeling you've installed pre-built packages.

Where does SuSE put it's startup scripts?  In /etc/rc.d/init.d ?  If so,
there should be something there relating to PostgreSQL, and it's this
you should modify.

If it starts PostgreSQL with "pg_ctl" then you'll need to pass the
option -o '-N <new connection limit>'.  If it starts it with
"postmaster", then use -N <new connection limit> directly, without the
-o.

The man pages for pg_ctl and postmaster should be of some benefit also.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
