How to prevent toad disconnecting its session after some time?
I am using toad for oracle client.
In which the session disconnects after some time. How to make it enabled at all time.
Answer
See the Dell website:
Keeping database connections alive is generally not recommended

If you would still like to force connectivity at all times, you can do so by doing one of the following two suggestions.
A)
Turn ON the DBMS Output (Polling) in Toad, which is similar to Toad pinging the database. Go to the Editor Window | DBMS Output Tab (lower half of the Editor window) | click on the "Turn Output On" red icon | then the icon will turn green.
NOTE: Starting Toad version 12.1, it’s little different. Also ensure the “Interval Polling” button or icon is 'depressed' as that is the one that sends the polling at every i.e. 5 seconds. You can set this to 60 seconds, which is the max.
B)
Start Database | Monitor | Session Browser, which has an auto refresh feature, which should cause some activities to occur on the database.
NOTE: The Session Browser feature requires DBA privileges.
