  The boundary behavior of the Bergman metric near a convex boundary point
$z_0$ of a pseudoconvex domain $D\subset\CC^n$ is studied; it turns out that
the Bergman metric at points $z\in D$ in direction of a fixed vector
$X_0\in\CC^n$ tends to infinite, when z is approaching $z_0$, if and only if
the boundary of D does not contain any analytic disc through $z_0$ in direction
of $X_0$.
