Is there a way to limit the number of simultaneous connections that any given username can make to the database? For instance, I'd like user1 to be able to have no more than 5 simultaneous connections to the database server, but user2 can have 15 simultaneous connections. Also, can these connections be limited on a per user for the entire database server basis? Or can they be limited on a per user per database basis? By this I mean, can a user create up to 5 connections to one of their databases and then another 5 to one of their other databases (total of 10 connections across the whole database server). Or can they be limited to a total of 5 for any connections to any of their databases? I will be using either 7.1.1 from RPM or 7.1.2 from source on Red Hat Linux 6.2 and 7.1. Thanks!
