]] Robert Haas | I've sometimes wondered why keepalives aren't the default for all TCP | connections. They seem like they're usually a Good Thing (TM), but I | wonder if we can think of any situations where someone might not want | them?
As somebody mentioned somewhere else (I think): If you pay per byte transmitted, be it 3G/GPRS. Or if you're on a very, very high-latency link or have no bandwidth. Like, a rocket to Mars or maybe the moon. While I think they are valid use-cases, requiring people to change the defaults if that kind of thing sounds like a sensible solution to me. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
