You bet, but it would be done in the backend, not in jdbc.  Is that OK?

I have some ideas that should make it pretty easy.  If you set an
alarm() in the backend on transaction start, then call the query
cancel() code if the alarm() goes off, that should do it.  Of course,
you reset the alarm if the query finishes before the timeout.
