Hy,

I have a system working with the client-server structure and PostgreSQL 8.4=
..
My problem is that if a client who is editing a record and lose his connect=
ion to the server,the TCPIP connection is still considered! So, the record =
stay allocated for the client in my database.
I need the records are free for edit, in few minutes. Therefore I set the K=
EEPALIVE configuration in my "postgresql.conf":

tcp_keepalives_idle =3D 60 # TCP_KEEPIDLE, in seconds;
tcp_keepalives_interval =3D 60 # TCP_KEEPINTVL, in seconds;
tcp_keepalives_count TCP_KEEPCNT =3D 5 #;

After making these settings and restart the server, the system continues to=
function the same way: Just breaks the connection TCPIP after two hours an=
d then deallocates the records in PostgreSQL. I need a efficient and safe w=
ay for the PostgreSQL understand that is to break these connections as conf=
igured! I need help, urgent!

Thanks,

I'll assume you're on linux, in which case try setting those values
with sysctl like so:

Edit /etc/sysctl.conf. add these lines at the bottom:

net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 300
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 2
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 30

Then run "sudo sysctl -p"

See if the changes took effect:

sysctl -a|grep keepa
