I am told that the backend to postgresql will automatically
timeout and close a JDBC client connection. In, addition
the client code in JDBC connection.isClosed() will wait
up to 30 seconds (SUN Java 1.3.1) to report the connection
being closed. I normally use Oracle and the server does not
automatically close connections. Am I off base here and if not
then: 1. Is there a flag to turn off timeouts or 2. Can someone
point me in the direction of the code base to possibly never
timeout connections on sockets.
