What can I do with this system value?
You can specify the query processing time limit that is compared with the estimated time that a query must run. The time limit determines if the database query can start.
This system value has the following options:
- No maximum (*NOMAX)
- There is no maximum number of estimated elapsed seconds.
- 0-2147352578 (0-2147352578)
- This option specifies the number of seconds that is compared with the estimated number of elapsed seconds that are required to run a query. If the number of estimated elapsed seconds is greater than this value, the query is not started. 2147352578 seconds is approximately 68 years.
