Firewall Timeouts

We have a situation where a firewall in front of the database breaks our connection after 1 hour. Firewall parameters are  not going to change. It is fairly inconvenient because we are closing and reopening SqlDbx often throughout the day. We would LOVE a feature where we force a call to the database at a detemined interval to keep the Firewall active.

For example, I can choose a SELECT statement and a time interval (every 30 minutes), then SqlDbx simply runs it every 30 minutes.

We can use this two weeks ago!!

Re: Firewall Timeouts

I am not sure why in this situation you need to restart. Why not to use reconnect?

I overlooked having the Reconnect option! We can use it. It would still be nice to not have to use it, and have an interval process.

Re: Firewall Timeouts

It is a firewall issue.  I don't think SQLDbx should add features to solve problems created by your firewall group (or any other external entity).

Let's keep the .exe as small as possible, and stop program bloat!

We have no plans to add this feature
