Thread: Support millisecond accuracy for timeouts

Hello postgres jdbc users,

loginTimeout and socketTimeout connection parameters ( http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/connect.html#connection-parameters ) seem to be at 1 second accuracy. Could this be improved to support millisecond accuracy? Would like to configure these timeouts at value lower then a second.

Regards,
Stevo.

loginTimeout should already support fractional values; what are you
seeing that makes you think it has whole-second resolution?
socketTimeout looks like a small change to do the same (parse as float
and scale to milliseconds), maybe you can send a patch for that?

Hello Oliver,

Thanks for quick reply! I didn't look in the code, relied on docs I referenced and they specify following:

{quote}
loginTimeout = int

    Specify how long to wait for establishment of a database connection. The timeout is specified in seconds.
{quote}

Docs are similar for socketTimeout.

Will have a look in the code.

Regards,
Stevo.

That one actually accepts a float.
