SET LOCK_TIMEOUT allows an application to set the maximum time that a statement waits on a blocked resource. When a statement has waited longer than the LOCK_TIMEOUT setting, the blocked statement is automatically canceled, and an error message is returned to the application.
@@LOCK_TIMEOUT returns a value of -1 if SET LOCK_TIMEOUT has not yet been run in the current session.
Examples
