Hi Kristian, Changing of the global timeout is not an option, since I need to have most of the statements behave normally (to wait as long as neccessary to succeed) and just a few statements with a "fail fast" behavior.
The concrete problem: I have a kind of a timer that fires events at regular intervals (5 sec) and I have to perform some actions. It might be possible under certain circumstances that the performing of the actions take (much) longer than the fixed rate of the timer, so that the next events are fired before the long running one is finished. However, if the actions are involving the same sets of rows, I want that the overlapping ones to fail fast and roll back the transaction. Now because Derby is waiting indefinitely, this scenario (events are comming via jms messages) will lead to the consumming of all available database connections, since for each jms message a new thread/transaction is created and implicitely a new connection.

If the statement is doing "normal processing", the query timeout should take effect. If your application code is set up correctly for retrying, is it an option to lower the lock timeout as well?
