Oracle connection/query timeout

Question

Is it possible to specify connection/query timeout for the Oracle database queries? Either on Oracle side or in Oracle\'s JDBC driver (10.2.0.4)? So, that Java client just g

Answer 1

Setting oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout helped to timeout the jdbc calls. I have used it in a production spring boot app by specifying datasource properties as below

spring.datasource.hikari.connection-timeout=1000
spring.datasource.hikari.dataSourceProperties=oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout=2000

Note: Earlier this app was using tomcat connection pool and after setting the above properties for the same, timeouts were happening but the pool was not able to handle the closed connection objects efficiently. Therefore, I switched to hikariCP and got lot better results. I have made a video simulating the slow jdbc calls which compares the results with tomcat and hikari connection pools while using the ReadTimeout property.
