You should always program your software with the assumption that a network connection could fail at any point. The ability to try and re-establish the connection should be a standard feature in your applications. Programming database apps with tiOPF makes that pretty easy. Saying that, using Delphi/Lazarus RAD style development with DB-controls should also be able to allow that - I think.
It's certainly possible to do it, I've done it. Is TSQLConnection.KeepConnection intended to automate this?
