When EAServer uses an Adaptive Server Enterprise database running on UNIX, you can configure the number of user connections, but it cannot exceed the number of file descriptors available to Adaptive Server on the operating system.

Although most of the open file descriptors are available for user connections, a few are used by Adaptive Server for opening files and devices.

Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is a relational database management system ( RDBMS ) from Sybase, Inc. that runs on Linux and other Unix -based operating systems, Windows NT and Windows 2000 , and Mac OS .

In an attempt to try and sort this out, Sybase renamed their product Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) starting with version 11.5.
