      You can define the maximum number of connections. Refer to: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/runtime-config-connection.html[^] and max_connections (integer)

        Many thanks Mika for your quick reply, but this determines the max. number of connection currently established with the server. Actually I want to know the max. number of possible concurrent users, beyond that number database may not listen about the user/request. I am not sure but in some forum it was mentioned around 12000. Is there any such number of possible users? Regards, Navin

          Sorry, but I don't quite follow. From the settings documentation: "Determines the maximum number of concurrent connections to the database server...This parameter can only be set at server start" So my understanding is that with this startup parameter you define the maximum number of concurrent connections that can be taken to the server (well actually max_connections-superuser_reserved_connections). As far as I know, the actual maximum you can define is operating system dependent. The setting itself is defined in postgresql.conf.

            You are mixing terms. User != connections. A connection represents a TCP connection to the database. A "user", say for example a real person running a GUI can have 1 or more connections to a database.

              Many thanks for your nice reply Jschell! Sorry, unfortunately I wrote the term connection. My focus is about to max. possible number of database concurrent user only. Thanks,

                If it was me I would investigate the requirement itself. But other than that presuming it is possible you might to research it using the term "session" or "user session".
