Question : Increasing Execution Timeout within SQL Server 2005 Express

HI All

Can anyone advise me on how to increase the execution timeout within SQL Server Express?.. I can see that by default it is set to 6, which I found within 'View connection properties' but this is greyed out so it isn't editable.

Many thanks

Answer : Increasing Execution Timeout within SQL Server 2005 Express

There are a couple of places:

1) Client-Side: Your query anylizer/management studio has connection time-out properties that can be set in Tools->Options->Query Execution. This like saying "As a client, I will wait xxx for results." The default for this is 0 (unlimited wait).
2) Server-Side: Your database server instance has an execution time-out in: Server Properties -> Connections -> Remote query timeout. This like saying "As a server, I will wait this long for a query to process." The default for this is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
