The RDMS$BIND_QG_TIMEOUT logical name is used to set the query optimizer elapsed time limit. The elapsed time that the query optimizer spends compiling a query can now be limited by defining the logical name RDMS$BIND_QG_TIMEOUT and specifying a value in seconds. A timer is established which will cause the query compilation to be aborted if too much elapsed time has passed. This logical name is translated at attach time and supersedes all options specified in the application. The following DCL command is used to define the RDMS$BIND_QG_ TIMEOUT logical name and set a value of 120 seconds. $ DEFINE RDMS$BIND_QG_TIMEOUT 120 In this example, the query optimizer will abort the query compilation after 120 seconds have elapsed. See the RDMS$BIND_QG_REC_LIMIT help topic at this level for information on how to limit the number of records delivered during query processing.
