Description akobberup 2013-05-14 17:00:17 UTC 
Would it be possible to add an optional timeout parameter for a database connection?
I have defined database connections for my own test db, our test environments, our staging environment and our production environment in netbeans.
For the first ones i have netbeans store the password, whereas for the staging and prod. databases i input the password manually.

However when i have connected to one of these, i often forget that i have an open connection to the database (the sql tab may be open in the editor while i continue working on something else). It would be awesome to have an option to specify that the connection should be disconnected if no queries are executed within say 5 minutes, so i have to enter the password again when executing the next query.
