In PostgreSQL, the connection limit is controlled by:

1) max_connections

This is the main server-wide setting that limits how many client connections PostgreSQL will accept at once.

SHOW max_connections;

You can also check:

SELECT current_setting('max_connections');

2) Per-database / per-role limits

PostgreSQL also supports limits for specific databases or users:

ALTER DATABASE mydb CONNECTION LIMIT 50;
ALTER ROLE myuser CONNECTION LIMIT 10;

Check them with:

\l
\du

3) Important note

max_connections is set in postgresql.conf and usually requires a server restart to change.

Example:

max_connections = 200

Then restart PostgreSQL.

4) If you need many app connections

If your app opens lots of connections, it’s common to use a pooler like PgBouncer instead of increasing max_connections too much.

If you want, I can also show:

  • how to check current active connections
  • how to increase the limit
  • how to find what is consuming connections
