Timing out.

From
Tim Uckun
Date:
There was a discussion recently about pgadmin timing out and hanging
up. I suffer from this a lot because I work with remote databases and
it really is painful.

I would like to make a request that there be an option for pgadmin to
send a query to the database every 10 seconds or something to keep the
connection alive.  It would save me so much pain.

Thanks.

That effects all the clients.  Tora has a feature where you can tell
it to ping the server every once in a while so I think this would be a
good feature for pgadmin too.

Use a pg_service.conf file, and pgAdmin 1.14. This way, only pgAdmin
will use the connection configuration.

Yes, drop the %22 here, but this is not what I'm talking about.

This is what you're looking for:

This documentation tends to oriented toward Unix machines. Where would the pg_service.conf file be found on a Windows box?
It doesn't exist on my machine at the present, so I have no idea where I would create it so that PgAdmin could use it.

My GIS database clients store a lot of PG references using connection
info with host/db/etc. Recently I switched to pg_service and
pg_service.conf - When I want to connect to a different server it is
handy just to edit the connection once and centrally in the
pg_service.conf rather than hard-wiring server names or IP-addresses and
having to find/replace connection infos in multiple project files.

you can have it anywhere you like. I usually have it on a network drive
so it can be shared between different machines.

Just create a regular windows environment variable named PGSYSCONFDIR
(either on a user or system level) and point it to the path where you
want to place the pg_service.conf file.

Hope this helps,
Andreas

Are there debs or a ppa for the pgadmin 1.14?  I saw that you had debs
for older Ubuntu version but not the recent ones.

It's nowhere in the docs. Should have already been fixed.

I have 1.14.0 Beta 2.
Is there a newer version?
I am running Windows 7, 64-bit, if that makes any difference.

AFAICT, no. Last one is 1.12.3 in Ubuntu 11.10dev
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pgadmin3). 1.12.3 is available for
sid, and 1.14.0 beta 1 is in experimental.

You're right. It should be fixed now (but know that it's already too
late for 1.14.0).
