[ raised eyebrow ... ] Say again? I don't know of any reason why a
lost connection would cause loss of (successfully committed) transactions.
Not even if a DBA with an itchy "kill -9" trigger finger is in charge of
cleaning up the lost connections. Please describe the scenarios you've
had problems with.
