Dean It is the number of concurrent connections
They disappear either when they are closed by the application which has opened them, or when wait_timeout expires for inactive connections The wait_timeout is by default at 28800 seconds, so it will take quite a long time before they disappear (didn't calculate the number of hours though) Freddie -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rochester, Dean [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 8. März 2004 15:14 An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Betreff: max used connections question Does this number indicate the current number of connections or the max number of connections during the current uptime? We have this number max set to 200 from the default 100 how does this number go down during uptime? It hovers around 30 - 40 but sometimes goes to 90 But it does not seem to go back down without restarting the mysql service Dean-O EMAIL CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This Email message, and any attachments, may contain confidential patient health information that is legally protected.
