Part 2: The 32-Bit/64-Bit Drivers : The PostgreSQL Wire Protocol Driver : Connection Option Descriptions for PostgreSQL Wire Protocol : TCP Keep Alive
 
TCP Keep Alive
Attribute
KeepAlive (KA)
Purpose
Specifies whether the driver enables TCPKeepAlive. TCPKeepAlive maintains idle TCP connections by periodically passing packets between the client and server. If either the client or server does not respond to a packet, the connection is considered inactive and is terminated. In addition, TCPKeepAlive prevents valid idle connections from being disconnected by firewalls and proxies by maintaining network activity.
Valid Values
0 | 1
Behavior
If set to 0 (Disabled), the driver does not enable TCPKeepAlive.
If set to 1 (Enabled), the driver enables TCPKeepAlive.
Default
0 (Disabled)
