I mentioned the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option in another email, but the
other possibility here is, of course, that the PostgreSQL connection
might be receiving an ICMP error message that Oracle isn't. This
would be due to different handling of the two protocols in a firewall
or something -- and whether it happens or not would be something you
could find out using tcpdump.
