statement_timeout - Amazon Redshift

statement_timeout

Values (default in bold)

0 (turns off limitation), x milliseconds

Description

Stops any statement that takes over the specified number of milliseconds.

The statement_timeout value is the maximum amount of time a query can run before Amazon Redshift terminates it. This time includes planning, queueing in workload management (WLM), and execution time. Compare this time to WLM timeout (max_execution_time) and a QMR (query_execution_time), which include only execution time.

If WLM timeout (max_execution_time) is also specified as part of a WLM configuration, the lower of statement_timeout and max_execution_time is used. For more information, see WLM timeout.

Example

Because the following query takes longer than 1 millisecond, it times out and is canceled.

set statement_timeout = 1; select * from listing where listid>5000; ERROR: Query (150) canceled on user's request
