[c3p0-users] Meaning of "checkoutTimeout", especially during a database outage

[Big L. <st...@lo...>]

Hello,

I'm emailing to get some clarity on the "checkoutTimeout" property.  Let's
say I have:

acquireRetryAttempts = 60;
acquireRetryDelay = 30000; # milliseconds
# Total acquire time is 60 * 30,000 ms = 30 minutes

checkoutTimeout = 60000; # milliseconds

Let's say there is a database outage with no currently open connections, and
my application attempts to get a connection.  How long will it wait before
throwing an exception?  Does it wait the 30 minutes for acquiring to fail,
or simply 60 seconds as specified by "checkoutTimeout"?  Does
"checkoutTimeout" only come into affect when all the connections in the pool
are utilized?

Thanks,
Steve
