Hello Laurenz Thank you for your rapid reply. Using statement_timeout is indeed the only-way to get a similar functionality as "for update wait N" in oracle. It doesn't affect the functionality at all. As I said in the previous mail that this porting method affects the functionality, it is finally verified as a bug in my program. In a work, the porting method has no problem. Sorry for interrupting you so many times.

FOR > UPDATE Parameters: [yun_SF_18, 0] There is no "WAIT n" clause in PostgreSQL, and using statement_timeout as you did is the only way to get a similar functionality. But you seem unhappy with this approach. How does it affect the functionality? If you use "WAIT n" in Oracle, you will get an error message (ORA-30006) similar to using statement_timeout in PostgreSQL.
