SQL Developer 1.5.4: "Keep alive" setting to keep connections open?

Dana NJun 23 2009 — edited Jul 16 2010
Is there any way to configure SQL Developer 1.5.4 such that it "pings" the server every now then to keep the connection open?

It's very frustrating to be working on a script, step away from it for a while, and have SQL Developer freeze when trying to execute the next SQL statement.

What can I do?

My workaround--execute a "dummy" SQL statement like "select * from dual;" every now and then to keep a connection open.

Thanks.

Dana
