AJ,
I think that indeed the MediaWiki code would create a database connection for every page request. What I can veryify using the 'mysqladmin status' command in a tight loop seems to confirm my initial 'educated guess'.
So you might run into trouble if the actual number of connections is too small or the number of "simultaneous" requests too large. (I believe that you can configure the wiki to disallow queries that take a long time running, thereby keeping that connection open).

Hi, I'm running a site which uses MediaWiki, unfortunately the number of database connections at a single time is restricted. Does Mediawiki create a database connection for every single user that logs into the site? I'm not to sure of how this works and would really appreciate any feedback I can get on this....
