The maximum number of sessions is controlled by your database's SESSIONS initialization parameter. This value is most often derived from the PROCESSES initialization parameter. You cannot exceed this number of sessions unless you raise the parameter value.

If your database is configured to handle enough sessions, then Oracle can literally handle thousands of simultaneous connections, provided your database server also has enough resources to handle this number of connections. You will want to implement Oracle's Shared Server connections so that multiple connections share a pool of processes on the database server. This minimizes the resource consumption used by the connections.
