<P>You need to increase the <I>postmaster's</I> limit on how many |
|
|
|
|
concurrent backend processes it can start.</P> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>In PostgreSQL 6.5 and up, the default limit is 32 processes. You |
|
|
|
|
can increase it by restarting the <I>postmaster</I> with a suitable |
|
|
|
|
<I>-N</I> value. With the default configuration you can set |
|
|
|
|
<I>-N</I> as large as 1024. If you need more, increase |
|
|
|
|
<SMALL>MAXBACKENDS</SMALL> in <I>include/pg_config.h</I> and rebuild. |
|
|
|
|
You can set the default value of <I>-N</I> at configuration time, |
|
|
|
|
if you like, using <I>configure's</I> <I>--with-maxbackends</I> |
|
|

switch.</P> |

<P>Note that if you make <I>-N</I> larger than 32, you must also |
