Hello,
I've reviewed the patch. My understanding is as follows. Please correct me if I'm wrong. * The difference is that the Execute message stops the statement_timeout timer, so that the execution of one statement doesn't shorten the timeout period of subsequent statements when they are run in batch followed by a single Sync message. * This patch is also necessary (or desirable) for the feature "Pipelining/batch mode support for libpq," which is being developed for PG 10. This patch enables correct timeout handling for each statement execution in a batch. Without this patch, the entire batch of statements is subject to statement_timeout. That's different from what the manual describes about statement_timeout. statement_timeout should measure execution of each statement. Below are what I found in the patch. (1) +static bool st_timeout = false; I think the variable name would better be stmt_timeout_enabled or stmt_timer_started, because other existing names use stmt to abbreviate statement, and thhis variable represents a state (see xact_started for example.) (2) +static void enable_statement_timeout(void) +{ +static void disable_statement_timeout(void) +{ "static void" and the remaining line should be on different lines, as other functions do. (3) + /* + * Sanity check + */ + if (!xact_started) + { + ereport(ERROR, + (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE), + errmsg("Transaction must have been already started to set statement timeout"))); + } I think this fragment can be deleted, because enable/disable_timeout() is used only at limited places in postgres.c, so I don't see the chance of misuse.
