# 3118 Trying to Reconnect a Remote Session After a Timeout Event Causes Server to Not Respond to Connects

How to hang the ElevateDB Server using the ElevateDB Manager:

1) Start a query that can't finish in a reasonable time
2) Wait for the client to timeout and ask to disconnect
3) The query continues to run on the server
4) Nobody else can connect


Comments Comments
The problem was caused by a situation whereby the remote session was trying to reconnect to the server session that was currently executing the runaway query. The remote session would wait on a critical section that protects access to the server session. However, during this time it was also holding an server-level critical section used to protect access to all sessions on the server. This higher-level critical section was what was blocking access by other sessions.
