Re: Unwanted SQL Developer inverse connection storming

So, another clarification - we're doing doing a PING either. We're doing a TNSPING.
And it is actually being used - not in a super secret way - if you mouse over the connection label in the tree you'll see a 'Last Ping: XXX ms' if the listener was able to respond, e.g. db is up.
So some help here - what is 'bad' about this behavior?
Thanks everyone,
