Query timeout is not supported in JDBC (driver version 9.1-901.jdbc4) Statement.setQueryTimeout(int seconds) throws an exception when seconds > 0. (in drivers prior to 8.3 there was no error but it was ignored)
Using Java + transaction management, we are missing this feature badly. I found people trying to fallback using "SELECT statement_timeout(SEC)". But this is useless in many cases (I mean transaction manager does it's work independently) : - my code do not directly decides to start a transaction - some code may have different transaction settings So I couldn't easily introduce the good select statement at the right moment. Even if the behaviour is not implemented, I guess it could be "mocked" if the call to Statement.setQueryTimeout(int seconds) generated the select statement "SELECT statement_timeout(SEC)". I know this is not ideal but could solve the problem temporarily. I could even be turned on by some driver settings. -- Sylvain Mougenot
