interupt JDBC SQL query connection

[Mike Read]

Hi

I using Java and JDBC to connect to MS SQL server 2000 (using the MS
drivers msbase,msutil and mssqlserver.jar s).

Sometimes it takes a long time for statement.execu teQuery
to return and start returning the resultset
(full DB scan can take 30-40 minutes).

Does anyone know if it's possible to interupt/halt the query before
it eventually comes back. The setQueryTimeout works OK but this has to be
set quite high to allow real queries to run correctly. What I'm trying
to do is allow users to halt their query if they've realised they
want to alter it or its taking too long. The query is running in a
separate thread and I've tried using the main thread to close the
connection or stop the query but this still waits until the resultset
is returned.

Maybe it's a driver issue or .....

Thanks
Mike

Hi

I am not sure about the JDBC driver itself, but you could use a timer thread
to kill it off.

I'm just new in the Java World and also JBuilder X Enterprise IDE. I'm
making a servlet client , using Struts , because the MVC pattern is just what
we need for our application.
Until now this is working just fine. I like the IDE, autocompletion, colors,
indent, etc.
The progam gives a lots of tips and help using class, packages, etc.

Greetings.....

You will have to examine the documetation for the JDBC driver. Most
client APIs for SQL Server supplies functions for asynchronous calls.
With a asynch call, you could then issue a cancel request (again this
is offered by most client APIs).

microsoft.publi c.sqlserver.jdb cdriver may offer more exact answers with
regards to that driver.
