I am using a vb.net application. My database is SQL Server 2012. This application is used by 10 to 12 users from different PCs. If I leave the application idle for 6 or 7 minutes then there is database connection loss. But it doesn't interrupt application. If any database query triggers from front end application it again establishes connection, so it takes long time to execute the query and retries database after some time.
The users are not confortable with this because if they don't use the application for 6 mintues or more then they have to wait for long time to re-establish the database connection.
Is there any way we can stop database connection loss even though no database query request is sent for long time? If anybody knows please help me.
Thanks a lot.
