Hello,
I have been having issues with MS Azure SQL Server going to a "pause state" at night after no activity. Then when I try to connect with :
lnConnection = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(lcConnString,.T.)
Because the Azure SQL Server is paused, the SQLSTRINGCONNECT() times out and prompts with the ODBC failed to connect and SQL Server login prompt.
This is annoying when I don't want that to pop up because the end user will not know what to do. All the help online just says an Azure SQL Server resumes once an attempt to connect is made...
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Is it a timeout issue that we can set in our connection string? Is there a setting on the Azure SQL server we need to set to not allow it to pause?
Thanks for any guidance,
