Connor,

    I tried DCD several times over the years.  It worked sporadically at best
and caused many other connection/remaining connected problems that OTS
recommended we discontinue using it.  Also in my experience it did nothing while
a long running query was running, only worked if the client was in an idle
state.

SQL Net has a dead connection detection (dcd)
mechanism where it will poll the client occasionally
to make sure they are still alive.  If not, the
session is killed.

In my experience though this has generally been the
equivalent of a ping - so a user that bounces their pc
or kills a task, but their pc remains accessible on
the network does not qualify for the dcd.
