Hi,

 

I have got a problem with the connection to the remote database server. I used Postgres database via ODBC. How can I set connection timeout in PB transaction or connection configuration? I would change the connection timeout parameter from the application, not in ODBC DNS.

Regards,

Pawel

Hi,

 

Currently, I don't resolve my problem with connection timeout when I use ODBC PostgreSQL driver. But I migrated to ADO.NET Postgresql provider and the problem is resolved.

Thanks for sharing the solution. Yes, the ADO.NET driver is the recommended driver now to use for PostgreSQL.

SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.Database = ddlb_database.Text
SQLCA.UserID = sle_userid.Text
SQLCA.DBPass = Trim( sle_password.Text )
SQLCA.DBParm = "DisableBind=1,AutoCommit=0," + "ConnectString='DSN=" + SQLCA.Database + ";UID=" + SQLCA.UserID + ";PWD=" + SQLCA.DBPass + "',ConnectOption='SQL_DRIVER_CONNECT,SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT;LoginTimeOut=0'"

Hi Pawel,

 

You can try this:

  1. Tick the Ignore Timeout checkbox at PostgreSQL ODBC的Options - > Datasource (Page1) -> Ignore Timeout (Attachment #1).
  2. Then set the Timeout value at PB Database Profile Setup->Network->Login Timeout (Attachment #2).

When I set LoginTimeOut=1 here, it will prompt timeout expired and the message is gone when I set LoginTimeOut=10, which means LoginTimeOut is effective when it connects.

 

SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=PostgreSQL35W;UID=postgres;PWD=<******>',LoginTimeOut=99"

 

Best Regards,

Peter

I'm not sure what you seek is possible. The DNS >>> IS <<< the designated means of connecting to the database, and the paramemters for the connections are specified in that DNS.

If you want to change connection parameters at runtime I suggest you 1) create a new DNS synamically OR have a separate DNS available (i.e. already created but not in use), 2) close the existing connections, and 3) reconnect with the new DNS.


If you wish, you can connect to the database without a DNS at runtime. Here's an example of such a connection that you would use with SQLCA (or whatever transaction object you choode):
     DBPARM = ConnectString='DSN=PostgreSQL35W;UID=cabdevusr;PWD=cabdevusr',DelimitIdentifier='No',LoginTimeOut=99",DisableBind=1
