Some database servers have support for the max time a SQL statement can
execute before it is aborted. In PostgreSQL this is the
{{{statement_timeout}}} variable. Other database servers may have similar
features available.
I'm suggesting that Django expose a database setting that allows
connections to set this variable. This will allow applications to easily
set limits on this resource. A bug in an application may unexpectedly
produce a long running query. It is often more desirable to kill the
request/query than to allow the request to continue consuming resources. A
bug of this nature could lead to a DOM vulnerability in an application.
Setting {{{statement_timeout}}} could help reduce the harm of such a bug.
PR to follow.
