Hi, I think your suggestion is SELECT set_config('statement_timeout','1000 s',false); -- enable timeout -- -- DO SQL Statements here -- SELECT set_config('statement_timeout','0',false); -- disable timeout Am I correct? Moreover what can happen if another query runs on the same connection pool ? I would limit the effect only on this specific query.

SELECT set_config('statement_timeout','1000 s',false); The set_config function is quite flexible as can accept dynamic values. More info here http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-admin.html I've used successfully to change the script timeout for each statement in my maintenance scripts using a temporary table to store the deadline.
