Definitely. The another rationale for the value is that regtest fails with the numbers less than 20. So it's not 11 but 20. Currently regtest should succeed with that number of connections as written in parallel_schedule and I've read (in Robert's mail, but I haven't confirmed) that tests for parallel scans are designed to use up to 20 connections. > even on definitely-not-decent hardware of those days like a RPI > (memories from my hamster, RIP, which set max_connections to 100). I believe it is the minimal box where anyone casulally try to run PostgreSQL as is. regareds, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
