Hi Tino, you should have a look at the method setWaitOption in the Oracle JDBC driver class OracleStatement.
public void setWaitOption(int waitOption); The valid values for waitOption are: 0 = The program waits until the requested resource is available (default setting) 4 = The driver returns an error code if the requested resource is not available (this one should work for you) Arne Siegel Hi all, my problem is this: My app using torque accesses an oracle db that is shared with other apps. These apps tend to use long blocking calls to select/update data, causing my app to wait forever on updating that same data. As I cannot change those other apps I would like to detect these blockings and handle them, but therefore I need to set the timeout or smth. on my queries, so they return with a nice SQLException stating the error. How would I set this timeout in torque, are there other ways to cope with this problem?
