DBGetTime

Description

Specifies the number of seconds DataWindow Designer waits for a response from the DBMS when you retrieve rows in a DataWindow object or query. When you set the Async parameter to 1 to enable asynchronous operation, you can also set the DBGetTime parameter for those DBMSs that support this parameter.

If DBGetTime is set to 0 (the default), DataWindow Designer waits indefinitely for a DBMS response (the request never times out). If the DBGetTime value expires before the first row is retrieved, your request is automatically canceled.
