hello, maybe this has been asked a thousand times, but as the archive seem not to respond to any search, here is my question: Is there a way to parametrize the connection time-out, when starting the postmaster, or something like that? The connection to postgres are timed out after some 3 or 4 minutes. I am running postgres 7.0.1 on a Linux Rehat 6.1, and accessing it using JDBC using the jdbc7.0-1.2.jar. thank you very much, Stan.
