No, I think we have to find a way to do this in the backend; just not
sure how yet.
I see the problem Tom is pointing out, that SET is ignored if the
transaction has already aborted:test=> begin;BEGINtest=> lkjasdf;ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "lkjasdf"test=>
setserver_min_messages = 'log';WARNING: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end oftransaction
block*ABORTSTATE*test=>
so if the transaction aborted, the reset of the statement_timeout would
not happen. The only way the application could code this would be with
this:
BEGIN WORK;query;SET statement_timeout = 4;query;SET statement_timeout = 0;query;COMMIT;SET statement_timeout = 0;
Basically, it does the reset twice, once assuming the transaction
doesn't abort, and another assuming it does abort. Is this something
that the JDBC and ODBC drivers can do automatically?
