[python-win32] adodbapi 2.6.0.7 question

[Andrey Glozman]

Please disregard.
We found a way to change timeout on the "connection" object.

Thank you,

Subject: adodbapi 2.6.0.7 question

Greetings,
We are trying to use the adodbapi 2.6.0.7 and unable to change ADO CommandTimeout after connection is established. Would you be able to help us understand the best way to do it?

Based on the adodbapi code - the only "timeout" parameter a user can provide is at the connection object instantiation. That timeout value is being used as a ConnectionTimeout (to connect to a server) and a CommandTimeout (to execute statement).
Also, it is not clear how one can change CommandTimeout in between queries.

Example case scenario:

1)      Connect to a server (here we need ConnectionTimeout). Typically default 30 seconds is acceptable

2)      Run Query1  - it might be some sort of a ping / database availability / user permissions / etc. (Here we need CommandTimeout). In many cases default 30 seconds is too much.

3)      Run Query2 - it might be a job / report / process - (here we need different CommandTimeout than above). In some cases it takes minutes to run.

Again, it seems that with existing implementation the above use case scenario is not possible.

Thank you in advance,
