I've had mixed results with that. From the docs : "Maximum number of seconds that each action of a query is permitted to execute before returning an error. The cumulative time may exceed this value.
For JDBC statements, ColdFusion sets this attribute. For other drivers, check driver documentation." I have yet to understand what is "each action of a query". The timeout does work, its just not always as expected though. We use Oracle exclusively, dunno about other RDBMS.
