Hello,
I am an automation system engineer in South Korea.
Our application executes SQL INSERT statements on a PostgreSQL database using _vbscript_.
During execution, we encountered the following error:
canceling statement due to statement timeout
Error while executing the query
We would like to obtain a technical clarification regarding the exact meaning of this error.
According to the PostgreSQL documentation, statement_timeout is measured from the time a command arrives at the server until it is completed.
Could you please confirm the following?
- Does this error indicate that PostgreSQL received the SQL command and canceled it because the configured statement_timeout limit was exceeded?
- Are SQL syntax errors, data type errors, and constraint violations reported separately from statement_timeout errors?
- Does this error confirm that the SQL statement was not completed within the configured time limit after reaching the PostgreSQL server?
We understand that identifying the underlying cause of the delay may require additional investigation.
However, our current request is specifically to confirm the technical meaning of this error message, rather than to determine responsibility for the delay.
We would greatly appreciate a written response based on PostgreSQL’s documented behavior.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
