[Squirrel-sql-users] Connection Timeout/Drop

[Knepp, E. <eK...@c-...>]

I am attempting to connection to a remote oracle database over the internet
and through the remote network's firewall.  I can establish a connection,
but because I am going through the remote network's fire wall I have only
one minute of idle time before the connection is terminated.

I can ssh through the remote network's fire wall and the timeout does not
occur because my local ssh client(Putty) sends keep alive packets every 15
seconds.

Is there a way to keep my connection in squirrel alive automatically using
some sort of sql heartbeat?  Or is there a way I can make squirrel use the
connection established by my local ssh client?

Thanks,
Ethan
