Setting Infinite Timeout in SQL Server Contexts
Note:
SQL Server itself does not have a built-in "infinite timeout" at the server level. Timeout behavior is controlled at the client/tool/application level.
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
Navigate to:
Tools
>Options
>Query Execution
>SQL Server
>General
Set Execution time-out to
0
A value of 0 means no timeout (infinite)
Setting timeouts to infinite can be useful for long-running queries, but use with caution to avoid hanging systems or applications.
