Re: connection lost related issues are still *painful*

Apologies: I failed to mention that I am using Windows 7 x64 as my workstation platform. The server is running on a unix variant.

And, yes, there are firewalls in between, that cut off sessions after x amount of time.

Peter

Congrats on the good improvements to pgAdmin.

I do still find that when a connection to the distant postgresql server is lost, that pgAdmin behaves badly and sometimes even has to be killed and restarted.

What I see happening is akin to someone disconnecting the ethernet cable.

Eg: a firewall between my workstation and the server has a timeout, and is dropping the session.

It would be nice perhaps if there was a ‘noop’ kind of request that could be sent every so often as a keep-alive to ensure the connection does not get considered to be idle.

Regards,
Peter
