# pg_on_connection_loss

## Name

pg_on_connection_loss -- set or change a callback for unexpected connection loss

## Synopsis

    pg_on_connection_loss conn ?callbackCommand?

## Description

`pg_on_connection_loss` creates, changes, or cancels a request to execute a callback command if an unexpected loss of connection to the database occurs. With a callbackCommand parameter, the request is established, or the command string of an already existing request is replaced. With no callbackCommand parameter, a prior request is canceled.

The callback command string is executed from the Tcl idle loop. That is the normal idle state of an application written with Tk. In non-Tk Tcl shells, you can execute `update` or `vwait` to cause the idle loop to be entered.

## Arguments

conn

  The handle to watch for connection losses.

callbackCommand

  If present, provides the command string to execute when connection loss is detected.

## Return Value

None
