Hi, pgpool seems to be very nice. I will use it in production environment as soon as possible, but have a question regarding pgpool:
I have four different databases/user combinations which should have different numbers of possible connection. let my db have 80 concurrent connections and i want to divide them like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 40 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 25 At the moment i run four different instances af apache with PHP and connect via pg_pconnect. My MaxClients directives are set to the values above, so if all connections are busy you can't even connect to apache and maybe you get a timeout. That's not nice, but i keep my database from overloading and still have enough resources for different databse/user combination. (OT: I would love to here someone running successful PerChildMPM on apache2, at the moment i need four apaches on four different ports to configure MaxClient) How can i achive it with pgpool? Is it possible to run four pgpools for an backend. running pgpool on port 9000-9004 each configured to the values above and have one database cluster handle the pgpool connections? Can i still use synchronous replication and so on. My first guess is: it should work as pgpool handles all connections via independent preforked childs and it should not matter wheather a child is forked from one parent or another. But as i dont know alle the internals, i would like to here an expert opinion. kind regards, janning ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
