Hi,
I incremented num_init_children from 120 to 200 today for testing. max_pool
= 1 and connection_cache = off.
We have 2 pgpool servers but the one that is connected to VIP one will be
active and the other is for failover.
We have 2 backend postgres DB servers with max_connections 250.
So the 1 * 200 < 250 rule is satisfied.
My concern is whether there is any way to wait in the queue if the
connections are more than 200 instead of throwing this error. We don't have
long running queries sothe connections will be available shortly.
