Thank you, Dag.

So, what may be my best strategy in the described situation? Let me recap a 
case like such:

Say Derby is running in in-memory subprotocol. There are two tables and three 
threads. Two threads perform inserts/deletes/updates and merges (implemented as 
update+insert) on each corresponding table. And the third thread runs an SQL on 
those two tables. I forgot to mention a few details:
- the threads perform table updates in a batched way: Prepared statements are 
created and then they are batched. At a certain the batches are executed
- the SQL is very slow running - for argument sake, it may take 3-4 mins to run 
it - much longer than a lock timeout.

What would be the best way to assure proper functioning of the app and avoid 
timeouts?

It has been suggested to repeat a transaction if a lock time out exception is 
caught, but that would mean to execute the whole batch again...

Thank you for your help,

Pavel.
