Doubt about odbc's in c#

Question

Hello,

I run a c# process and in the middle of the night this happens:

ERROR [HY000][DataDirect][ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver] Timeout exceeded

I know for sure that the database is allways active! But this keeps happening! Do you how can I fix this error?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: is there a way to put the timeout four times bigger?

Answer 1

Maybe the network connection goes down.

I'd suggest setting up a small IsAlive utility to check this. Either write something small that send out a ping every 30 seconds or so and logs any problems or you might be able to download some tool that does this.
