RE: PG on a web-server...issues..and some general qu estions on PG deployment

I think you get a persistent connection per httpd process, no? If this
really is the case, you could then limit your connection count by limiting
the number of times that apache will spawn a new process (10 is default,
IIRC) This isn't exactly true pooling, but should be flexible enough to
meet the intent... :)

The PHP docs are very clear to not referr to it is pooling, but
persistant connections. They are very different things. PHP as a whole
is not capable of pooling, because a separate instance of PHP runs in each
httpd process, and those instances can not shared database connections
between them.
