Re: Too much clients connected to the PostgreSQL Database

150 maxActive setting, but we have some low usage application getting direct db
connection(out of the pool).

The interesting is that the server suddently get a lot of connections and reach the
limit and then release them.

I'm willing to change to Tomcat 7 connection pool. We are using c3pO and apache ones,
maybe that's a problem.

Thank you,

Well,
