BlockingTimeout Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The BlockingTimeout property specifies a timeout interval for resource requests that are blocked due to conflicting resource lock requests.
Syntax
object
.BlockingTimeout [=value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
A long integer that specifies a number of milliseconds
Data Type
Long
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetBlockingTimeout(LPLONG pRetVal);
HRESULT SetBlockingTimeout(long NewValue);
Remarks
For SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) applications, the default value for BlockingTimeout is 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds).
The BlockingTimeout property determines the number of milliseconds waited when the SQL-DMO application needs sole access to a client resource. For the SQLServer object, the LoginTimeout and QueryTimeout properties control time-out behavior when an application request for a Microsoft SQL Server resource is made.
An attempt to set the BlockingTimeout property to a negative value returns the setting to the default 10 seconds (10,000).
