Hi Scott:
I'm a novice. Here is a blurb I ran across yesterday during general
research into RDBM subjects:
7. Optional: Review or change the value of transaction timeout properties:
Total transaction lifetime timeout
Type the number of seconds a transaction can remain inactive before it is
ended by
the transaction service. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that there is no
timeout limit.
Client inactivity timeout
Type the number of seconds after which a client is considered inactive and
the transaction
service ends any transactions associated with that client. A value of 0
(zero) indicates
that there is no timeout limit.
This is from a IBM Document so I don't even know if there is a similar
feature in Firebird but it sounds so close to what you described I thought
I'd put it up so more experienced folks might cross-reference the concept
and comment on it if applicable.
Good Luck:
