[cx-oracle-users] Connection timeout

[Paul M. <pf_...@ya...>]

Is it possible to force a timeout on a cx_Oracle.connect? I have a job
which connects to a number of databases, but occasionally one of the
connections hangs. I'm not sure why, it may be a network problem or
something, but I can't find a way of stopping it.

To avoid the whole job hanging, I'd like to be able to specify a
timeout on the connection attempt. I've checked the cx_Oracle
documentation, and what I can of the Oracle documentation (I know very
little of how OCI works) but I can't see a way of doing this.

Is it possible?

Thanks,
Paul.
