🐞 Description of the bug

First init with starting RPC server works fine we can open EDB file. Then after closing I want to reopen another one, the init is detecting the server is running as I got the pid but then if I open the EDB it fails. As a work round I will kill and restart the sever but we can't open multiple EDB and if the server is running remotely killing the sever will impact all users connected.

running change_capacitor_models.ipynb multiple time works fine. (each run opens a db, performs operations, then closes it)

I tested the example as is (disconnect current session after each run) and without disconnecting from session (close db and reopen a new one right away) and didn't see issues

@svandenb-dev can you post exact repro step please?

@hiro727 we should check together unless I missed something on how the server works. I can reproduce on my unit test

connection to existing session fixed the issue
