I'd rather not, because as Markus said there may be other services
started on the DB machine in the future (it's just a prototype testing
for a new project). I found that there is a property called
"statement_timeout" in the postgresql.conf. This limits the time, in
which a statement must be executed. It looks like a solution to me,
but I need to test it.
10x anyway :)
