Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically detecting a connection status in an asynchronous processing request. An example method includes obtaining, at a processing client and responsive to a first request from a requesting client to perform a plurality of database operations in a single transaction, a connection identifier for a connection to a database on a database server, the connection to be used to execute the plurality database operations and storing the connection identifier in a row of a status table. In some implementations the existence of the row indicates the status of the connection is active. In some implementations the row includes a flag indicating the status. The method also includes providing the connection identifier to the requesting client, receiving a second request from the requesting client, the second request being for a status of the connection, determining the status using the status table.
