Find the number of active connections per database in MySQL

[Neeraja cp]

I have a drupal application that uses the database named db1. Each time a drupal request is sent, a new connection to database will be established.So after a certain number of conneections has reached the site turns offline showing the following error:

User db1 already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections.

So my aim is to close the database connection and thereafter avoiding the offline error. For this I need to find the number of active connections made to my database.I have tried with the SHOW PROCESSLIST command. But it is not showing the number of connections.

Is there any method to find the number of database connections made to a mysql database?

Thanks
