Re: vacuumdb not letting me connect to db

Hi,

The CPU and RAM are normal even on 300 jobs ( only 1-4% of consumption) but I don’t understand one thing here that if max_connections is set to 700 then why I am not able to connect the db.

As the running jobs (300) are lesser than half of max_connections.

That is to be expected.

If you have 300 processes performing I/O and using CPU, your machine
will vertainly be overloaded.
