Обсуждение: transaction timeout

Hi everybody,


Our aplpication uses PostgreSQL for data store. We
have a problem with the way
long-running transactions are handled.


Our application had a bug (from what I understand it
went into an infinite
loop). As a result, the transaction it was processing
was neither committed
nor rolled back. Because of that, the misbehaving
process was left holding
the locks and none of the other processes were able to
do transactions.


My question is, how do I get PostgreSQL to
automatically abort transactions
that take longer than a certain timeout?


thanks in advance,


Eugene

We have statement_timeout, but no transaction timeout.  Does that help?
