URL Name000028010

Question/Problem Description
When running a query where connection attribute QueryTimeout is set or SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT is called with a set value of seconds, an error is returned.
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
Error Message[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]Timeout expired.
[DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Driver][libssclient21]Timeout Expired.
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
This is expected behavior. 
The QueryTimeout setting or ODBC call SQLSetStmtAttr(SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT) is used to time out a query that is taking too long.
Resolution
If a longer timeout period is needed, increase the value of the QueryTimeout connection attribute or SQLSetStmtAttr(SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT)setting.
 
Valid values are -1 | 0 | x where x is a positive integer that specifies a number of seconds.
 
If set to -1, the query does not time out. The driver silently ignores the SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT attribute.
If set to 0, the query does not time out, but the driver responds to the SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT attribute.
If set to x, all queries time out after the specified number of seconds unless the application overrides this value by setting the SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT attribute.

Default is 0

Refer to the User's Guide to see which data sources support Query Timeout.
