Joomla is causing "Too many connections" database errors"

I'm getting "too many connections" errors from mysql, and I think that its caused by recurring ajax calls that are hitting a joomla backend page.

I'm wondering, does Joomla make a new mysql connection for each page load, or would it store the connection in the PHP session?

How can I find this out?

The problem was that joomla was writing the session to a mysql db. Disabling that option resolved the "too many connections" error.

Just to clarify the steps I took in the Joomla admin:

Site > Global Configuration > System > Session Settings

Set Session Settings to None (or something other than database)
