Tom Lane 2b2bacdca0 Reset statement_timeout between queries of a multi-query string. ... Historically, we started the timer (if StatementTimeout > 0) at the beginning of a simple-Query message and usually let it run until the end, so that the timeout limit applied to the entire query string, and intra-string changes of the statement_timeout GUC had no effect. But, confusingly, a COMMIT within the string would reset the state and allow a fresh timeout cycle to start with the current setting. Commit f8e5f156b changed the behavior of statement_timeout for extended query protocol, and as an apparently-unintended side effect, a change in the statement_timeout GUC during a multi-statement simple-Query message might have an effect immediately --- but only if it was going from "disabled" to "enabled". This is all pretty confusing, not to mention completely undocumented. Let's change things so that the timeout is always reset between queries of a multi-query string, whether they're transaction control commands or not. Thus the active timeout setting is applied to each query in the string, separately. This costs a few more cycles if statement_timeout is active, but it provides much more intuitive behavior, especially if one changes statement_timeout in one of the queries of the string. Also, add something to the documentation to explain all this. Per bug #16035 from Raj Mohite. Although this is a bug fix, I'm hesitant to back-patch it; conceivably somebody has worked out the old behavior and is depending on it. (But note that this change should make the behavior less restrictive in most cases, since the timeout will now be applied to shorter segments of code.)
