I would imagine that the most convenient way to handle it would be as a SET variable: SET query_timeout = n; Establishes a time limit on subsequent queries (n expressed in milliseconds, perhaps). SET query_timeout = 0; Disables query time limit. This assumes that the query timeout should apply to each subsequent query, individually, until explicitly canceled. If you want a timeout that applies to only one query and is then forgotten, then maybe this wouldn't be the most convenient definition. What semantics are you trying to obtain, exactly? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
