Timeout when connecting to sybase DBS

2009-06-29 Thread eranlevi
Hi All,

I'm using the Sybase module for connecting and using a sybase DBS.
When I try to connect when the DBS is down, it take approximately 4
minutes for the function (conn.ct_connect) to return with an error. I
have looked for a timeout parameter to limit the 4 minutes to
something more reasonable but couldn't find one.
Can anyone please help?

BTW, I'm using Sybase.connect(, , ,
datetime='auto')

Thanks

Gil

Are you saying, that when you trying to connect to a sybase DBS server
and the DBS or the server is down, you get an error after a few
seconds and not after a few minutes? Which python version are you
using?

I'll try to ask in the python-sybase mailing list

Thanks
