Amazon RDS (postgres) connection limit?

Question

I've searched the web and browsed the RDS docs, yet I can't seem to find an open connection limit.

For what it's worth, I'm planning on using the new Postgres flavour of RDS, but I suppose an answer from the mySQL side of the house would be acceptable as well.

Answer 1

You can query for max_connections in a PostgreSQL RDS instance:

select * from pg_settings where name='max_connections';

max_connections is usually set to 5696.
