How to Timing out java.sql.ResultSet

Question

The PL/SQl cursor was getting hanged due to some reason, this makes my app to hang when try to loop through the ResultSet .

Is there a way to handle this, like timing out the resultset if the database hangs?

Answer 1

There is a setQueryTimeout(int) on the java.sql.Statement interface. You should call it before invoking the executeQuery().

You can also asynchronously cancel a running query by calling cancel() on the Statement too.

Edit: Oracle jdbc driver version 6 supports these methods for sure, as I'm using it in one of my projects.
