Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Limits user connection in pgbouncer



Hi Michael ,

I have tried by setting the below entry under the users section but still I am able to make more than 2 connections. Please suggest what I am missing here ?

[users]
user1 = pool_mode=transaction max_user_connections=2

Here are my other details:

[databases]
db1 = host=localhost dbname=db1

logfile = /var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log
pidfile = /var/run/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.pid

listen_addr = *
listen_port = 6432

auth_type = md5
auth_file = /etc/pgbouncer/userlist.txt
admin_users = postgres

pool_mode = session

max_client_conn = 300

max_db_connections = 2

max_user_connections = 2

Hi all,

If you add the user to the database specification, then you can limit connections per user:
db1 = host=localhost dbname=db1 pool_size=2 user=myuser

Hello Team,
How can we limit the user to  make a specific number of connections to the database?

Just specify this in the db definition configuration :

db1 = host=localhost dbname=db1 pool_size=2

but it will apply to every user, so that every user's pool will have max 2 connections, not only user1.

Alternatively you could set "ALTER ROLE .. CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit " for user1 individually.
