We might need to improve isolation_main.c and/or the isolation Makefile to make it accessible. I suppose that in what I'm thinking about, MAX_CONNECTIONS would be interpreted as "max number of concurrent isolation scripts", which is not exactly number of connections. A quick and dirty answer would be to have isolation_main.c divide the limit by a factor of 4 or so. regards, tom lane
