TCP Keepalives

By default, the Simba Amazon Redshift ODBC Connector is configured to use TCP keepalives to verify the status of a connection and prevent it from timing out. After you connect to a Redshift server, the connector automatically sends keepalive packets to the server. If the server does not respond, then the connector returns an indication that the connection is broken.
