Viewing the maximum number of connections for a MySQL database.

To check the maximum connection number of a MySQL database in detail, you can follow these steps:

Connect to the MySQL server. You can connect using command line tools (such as the mysql command) or MySQL client software (such as phpMyAdmin).

Execute the following SQL query:

   SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connections';

This SQL query will return a result set where the `Variable_name` column displays various variable names and the `Value` column corresponds to the value of that variable. Locate the `max_connections` row to view the maximum connection limit for the MySQL database.

By checking the values in the ‘Value’ column of the result set, you can obtain the maximum connection number for the MySQL database.

Please note that the maximum number of connections is a parameter in the MySQL database configuration file, which can be changed by modifying the configuration file. By default, MySQL has a maximum of 151 connections.
