When connecting to Oracle DB's there are frequent disconnects which requires quitting out of the workbook and restarting. You can of course save any work to that point. I'm finding that with only 10-15 minutes of inactivity the session gets disconnected. This can be very frustrating and inefficient when working with a multi-tab report with fairly long running queries. I find that with mySQL when this happens I am prompted to reconnect and can move on from there.

Are there any workarounds or suggestions for efficiency? What about staying connected? i should note that I am on a Mac and running Tableau in Parallels which might make for a few more points of failure, but i wouldn't think a major issue. My Mac peers experience the same. Thanks
