What exactly is a concurrent member limit for a MySQL database?

Say a host has 55 CM limit, how many users is this?

Warning: Taking out of my donkey, I don't know much about this specifically, so if *any* of it is wrong or partly wrong, *please* correct me someone...

I'm not so sure it is users that you have to worry about (exactly). From what I've gathered (see above statement!), loading a forum page roughly translates into about 17-ish connections to the database. These are quick connections.

I'm pretty sure (see statement above!) that this is what you need to worry about, as I'm not sure that a user logged in (not browsing pages) really makes a difference. You could probably have 10,000 users logged in doing nothing (see statement above!), but if you have some heavy users constantly clicking on pages then you start into the limitations of the connections.

Finally... SEE STATEMENT ABOVE! :D

that's correct as far as my donkey's knowledge goes :D :D

the connection limit is the number of connections allowed at any given INSTANT....
