Hi Tino once more,
another more "official" way to achieve your goal is accessing the to-be-updated database rows with the SELECT ... FOR UPDATE NOWAIT statement. I believe there has already been some discussion around that theme complex in this list. Gruss Arne "Sperlich, Tino" wrote: 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?
