There is an asynchronous API for dealing with these types of situations. Given that the blocking execution functions do not take a timeout parameter and depend on unreliable facilities, unbounded execution time should be expected. Writing robust libpq applications generally involves using the asynchronous API. It's better in just about every way except easiness. merlin
