Unable to easily alter/configure certain DB defaults and settings (M)

[smurthys]

Information such as connection limit are presently hard coded. Perhaps the (default) value for such settings could be maintained in a "Settings" table and those values could be used instead of hard coding.

For example, the following schema permits maintaining role-specific default settings related to connections:

Role Category Setting Value
Student Connection Timeout 1000
Student Connection Number 5

A thorough discussion is needed. No need to implement now.
