Re: Re: re : PHP and persistent connections

I have a couple of other questions that I believe are not ansvered in
the docs anywhere.

Do the "persistent-connected" Postgres backends ever timeout or die?
Is it possible to set something like a timeout for persistent connctions?
(Er, would that be something that someone would want
to do? A Bad Thing?)

What happens when the httpd process that held a persistent connection
dies? Does "its" postgres process drop the connection and wait for
others? When the spare apache processes die, the postgres processes
remain.

Thanks.
