Re: implementing query timeout

The INFORMIX equivalent is SET LOCK MODE TO WAIT [timeout value in seconds];
If you don't specify any timeout value, you wait until all statements are
completed, If timeout value is set to 0 then you return immediatly if the
tables you query are already locked, ...

This statement is valid for a connection or until another identical
statement is sent.
