Syntax option: LOCK TIMEOUT INTERVAL IS number-seconds SECONDS Specifies the number of seconds for processes to wait during a lock conflict before timing out. The number of seconds can be between 1 and 65,000 seconds. Specifying 0 is interpreted as no lock timeout interval being set. It is not interpreted as 0 seconds. The lock timeout interval is database-wide; it is used as the default as well as the upper limit for determining the timeout interval. For example, if the database definer specified LOCK TIMEOUT INTERVAL IS 25 SECONDS in the CREATE DATABASE statement, and a user of that database specified SET TRANSACTION WAIT 30 or changed the logical name RDM$BIND_LOCK_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL to 30, SQL uses the interval of 25 seconds. For more information, see the SET_TRANSACTION statement and the Oracle Rdb7 Guide to Distributed Transactions.
