[ODBC] BUG: odbc statement_timeout gets set to 30000

From

Hi All

I've found a problem with at least the 906 and 1000 odbc driver, in that, no
matter what statement_timeout is set to, after initially connecting and
setting the value to that specified in the connection settings, it is then
subsequently set to 30000.

This means that queries running longer than 30seconds are failing, which is
a major problem. Earlier drivers do not behave in this manner.

I'm not a windows person, however, I have found that 

SET statement_timeout = %d

Is present in psqlodbc30a.dll  psqlodbc35w.dll, I've used a hex editor to
change the above to read

SET statement_timeout =  0

This works for us, but it would be good for a fixed driver to be published,
I can't see the need for it to be specified in the driver itself, when it
can be passed as a connection setting.

I suspect that %d variable is being overwritten, so, it would be good if
this could be fixed for the next release, either by making sure the
statement_timeout doesn't get overwritten when set in the connection
settings in the driver gui, or windows registry, or, simply remove it from
the driver.

I hope that all makes sense

Thanks

Tony

I've witnessed it too, and fixed it by setting my ado connection's 
commandtimeout to 0 in my scripts. (oADODBConn.CommandTimeout = 0)

But just like you I was surprised by this change, so it might be a bug.

The default value of CommandTimeout property is 30.

It's because of an enhancement (SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT option support since 
9.5.0400)  not a bug.

OK, nice to have this feature, but why is the default set at 30s and not 
0 ?
The new default value breaks scripts that where previsously running 
without problem.

The 30s comes from apps or middlewares not from drivers.

Ah OK, so it's probably the default value in ADO ?
Anyway, it works with commandtimeout=0, and I suppose I should have 
defined that from the beginning.
