I think there are two ways of making this capability visible to users. First, you could do: SET query_timeout = 5; and all queries after that would time out at 5 seconds. Another option is: BEGIN WORK TIMEOUT 5; ... COMMIT; which would make the transaction timeout after 5 seconds. We never decided which one we wanted, or both. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
