Can't you to this today with statement_timeout? Surely you do want to
rollback the whole transaction or at least the subtransaction if you
have error handling.

hello everybody,
i would like to propose an extension to our SELECT FOR UPDATE
mechanism.
especially in web applications it can be extremely useful to have
the chance to terminate a lock after a given timeframe.
i would like to add this functionality to PostgreSQL 8.5.
the oracle syntax is quite clear and easy to use here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10002.htm#i2126016
informix should behave pretty much the same way.
are there any arguments from hackers' side against this feature?
many thanks,
hans
