Sets the number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute to the given number of seconds. By default there is no limit on the amount of time allowed for a running statement to complete. If the limit is exceeded, an SQLTimeoutException is thrown. A JDBC driver must apply this limit to the execute, executeQuery and executeUpdate methods.

Note: JDBC driver implementations may also apply this limit to ResultSet methods (consult your driver vendor documentation for details).

Note: In the case of Statement batching, it is implementation defined as to whether the time-out is applied to individual SQL commands added via the addBatch method or to the entire batch of SQL commands invoked by the executeBatch method (consult your driver vendor documentation for details).

Parameters:

seconds the new query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit

Exceptions:

SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition seconds >= 0 is not satisfied
