It's not too hard to create a monitor thread which issues a
Statement.cancel after the appropriate interval. We have that option
built into our framework; if you route all your SQL requests through
some such layer you could do it there. I assume that the only reason
it hasn't been implemented in the JDBC driver for PostgreSQL is that
there seems to be a reluctance to create any threads in the driver,
but rather to use the thread of the requester. Is that a hard and
fast rule?
