Keep Alive Functionality

[The Cleaner]

My system seems to timeout its database connections to Oracle quite rapidly. This may be a DBA settings issue or something on my local system.

My question is this: Is there a way to have PL/SQL developer perform some sort of keep alive feature? Like maybe a "Ping" every so often to ensure that my sessions don't time out? As it stands it takes the program almost a full minute to realize that its not connected, then I log off, then do another login. Multiply this by 50 times a day and I'm losing hair by the minute.

I realize this isn't PL/SQL developers problem, nor am I blaming it. Just curious as to whether its possible to keep my sessions alive through brute force.

Thanks so much!

I had the same problem. Marco told me there is an option for this problem.
Go to [Tools-Preferences]
then on the options tab there is a checkbox:
check connection
Turn it on and you're problem is likely to be gone...
