RE: A lazy connection!

A setting of zero tells the server to never poll the connections and verify that they are active. This allows firewalls and various other middlemen to terminate inactive connections based on the fact that there is no sql*net traffic coming through the network. By setting it to anything other that zero, it forces the connections to be polled from the server and therefore by default creates network traffic.

I was under the impression that setting it to zero meant that the connnections would wait indefinately. Like when I was receiving "end of file on communication" errors setting it to 0 was suggested. KK

I meant that if you want to use expire_time feature, you'll need to set it with a value greater than 0. Remember that the value is in minutes. F.e.:

SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=20 .....means that every twenty minute SQL*Net or Net8 polls each connection

SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=0.....means that SQL*NET or NET8 doesn't poll any connection.

Is it clear ?.

Regards.
