There's a timeout? This must be a new feature. I regularly leave psql
sessions open overnight. Version 7.0.2 (yes it's old I know).

I must say, if a timeout has been added, I hope it can be disabled.

What exactly are you seeing?

No, there isn't.  Other than the timeouts specified by TCP, if you're
using a TCP connection.  (We do set SO_KEEPALIVE to ensure that a
lost connection will be recognized even if no data transmission is
pending, but I believe the spec timeout for that is ~ 1 hour.)
