It appears that the maximum number of connections available in R is about 48. Can anyone tell me how to bump this number up? I've been perusing the source, but any info would speed things up. Is there a reason that it was set to such a low number? Thanks for any help. -Frank
Maximum number of connections in R

It's a large number, and each has some cost. Why would you need more than 50 simultaneous connections? If these are files, a DBMS would seem indicated long before that point.

It is 50.

It is pretty obvious, at the top of the file called connections.c!
Is there a reason that it was set to such a low number?
