I have read the article listed here: [How to set connection timeout value for pgAdmin?][1] many times, but I still have no idea where one sets the config parameter for connection_timeout. I am connecting from a local host to a local host, so there should be no real problems with keep alives. I am using PgAdmin 4, PostGreSQL 9.6 on windows 10. I would like to know the path to: - The server setting if that is where it needs to be set - Or the location for a client config (if that is where it is set) - What the exact values that have to be put in either case to defeat the connection time out. I see others are also confused: http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/97534/is-there-a-timeout-option-for-remote-access-to-postgresql-database [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24090683/how-to-set-connection-timeout-value-for-pgadmin
