Setting Query Time Limits

Set the MAX_QUERY_TIME option to limit the time a query can run. If a query takes longer to execute than the MAX_QUERY_TIME , SAP Sybase IQ stops the query with an appropriate error.

Note: SAP Sybase IQ truncates all decimal option-value settings to integer values. For example, the value 3.8 is truncated to 3.
