If I issue SQLSETPROP(0,"ConnectTimeOut",1) to set the VFP global time out to 1 second, and then issue an SQLConnect() against an MS SQL Server back-end, it does not respect the 1 second time-out if the server cannot connect. Instead it takes about 30 seconds before it returns the appropriate -1 value for the handle.
On a PostgreSQL back-end, which I've become very familiar with, the setting is respected, and the failed connection returns in about 1.5 seconds. Does anyone know if / how to make MS SQL Server use this setting, or something else that get the same effect? Although my real code doesn't need a 1 second time out, 30 is too high since it basically freezes VFP entirely and makes the app totally un-responsive.
