Liam Sharp commented on DERBY-3908:
-----------------------------------

Currently cancel() throws a java.sql.SQLFeatureNotSupportedException: Feature 
not implemented: cancel.

Would a quick win for embed mode implementation be:

{code}
final EmbedConnection conn = (EmbedConnection)statement.getConnection();
conn.cancelRunningStatement();
{code}

This is what we've implemented in our project to work round the lack of cancel.

I was quite surprised to see that Derby doesn't implement cancel. Here is our 
reason for needing it: We're using derby as the data source to a large 
scrolling table. We only page in a small section of the data (using 
offset/limit) based on the rows the user is viewing. If they scroll around 
quickly we cancel existing statements so we can load the new section quicker.



> Add a mechanism for cancelling runaway transactions.

> We should add a mechanism by which the DBA can cancel a runaway transaction. 
> Perhaps we could implement this as a new system procedure. This issue comes 
> up on the user list frequently. For instance, see this thread: 
> http://www.nabble.com/cancel-a-running-query--td19903183.html#a19903183 On 
> the implementation side, Knut points out that 
> EmbedConnection.cancelRunningStatement() might be a useful place to start.
