Are you still seeing this issue? Hi Weston, I have not heard anything from the client lately, however that doesn't mean it is not happening (just that they stopped complaining about it). Do you suggest that we include the <new-connection-sql> option in our DS file? What additional insurance does this give over the <check-valid-connection-sql> option?
