What that sounds like is a network-level problem. In particular, if there's a NAT-capable router between your client and server machines, it's probably dropping the connection after a certain period of inactivity. You may be able to fix this within Postgres by adjusting the server's tcp_keepalives_idle setting. If the server is on a platform that doesn't support changing the keepalive interval, the only recourse is to fix the router. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
