I''m using WEBrick and Oracle. I have a Oracle connection limit of 8. On the 9th click in of the application I get an oracle error stating I have exceeded the connection limit. "ORA-02391: exceeded simultaneous SESSIONS_PER_USER limit". It seems that rails is not reusing connections..... I started with a limit of 5 and the dba gave me three more.
