Well, I think I'll return to referring to these machines as 'glorified typewriters' ;-) the KISs method doesn't allow for comprehending all the inner workings of these thing-a-ma-jigs ;-) Reminds me of ... ... ... ;-) ;-) ;-) "`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves "Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: "All mimsy were the borogoves, "And the mome raths outgrabe." ... ... ... by Rev.

It simply defines the interval of "no request" from a particular client to the server it is connected to. The server shuts down the connection if that period has expired without further hearing from the client. My problem is that I am NOT the system administrator of the server and the sysadmin of the server won't increase that wait_timeout value. JDBC has a way around this by auto-reconnecting the client if this is specified when establishing the connection. This is NOT an ideal situation (re-establishing the connection takes time...) but it is certainly better than having to shutdown/restart LO... Regards H. S.
