Hello, I have a question about connection and disconnection. How can I 
detect if a network connection is dead using db-lib? I have seen that there 
is a function called  dbdead, but this function does not check  if the 
network socket is alive ( I use  MS Sql Server), it never connects to the 
server... I need this because I have a connection pooling and I havte to 
detect connections dead to reconnect if it is needed, I keep the connection 
without calling a dbclose for a long time. But if the dbdead does not check 
the socket the result of calling dbdead is not reliable.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks...
