I bit more info into this problem. I am running 1.0.2 with an additional
patch that went into 1.0.3. I have a simple client program, see below.
When I attach to a device that is firewalled ot non-existent. I get a
380 seconds time dispite the value entered in timeout. Any suggestions?

Kevin

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "ibase.h"

float timeDiff(const timeval& start, const timeval& end)
{
long secs = end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec;
long microSecs;

if (secs < 0)
secs = 0;

if (end.tv_usec > start.tv_usec)
microSecs = (end.tv_usec - start.tv_usec) / 1000;
else
microSecs = (1000000 - start.tv_usec + end.tv_usec) / 1000;

return ((microSecs / 1000.0) + secs);
}

main()
{
isc_db_handle db;
ISC_STATUS isc_status[20];
char dbName[64];
char to_dpb[] = {isc_dpb_version1, isc_dpb_connect_timeout, 30};

// init
db = 0L;
strcpy(dbName, "10.59.1.18:/my.db");

// attach
timeval endTime, startTime;
gettimeofday(&startTime, 0);

isc_attach_database(isc_status, 0, dbName, &db, sizeof(to_dpb),
to_dpb);
if(isc_status[0] == 1 && isc_status[1])
{
isc_print_status(isc_status);
}

gettimeofday(&endTime, 0);
printf("isc_attach_database = %s time to connect = %f seconds \n",
dbName, timeDiff(startTime, endTime));
}


Output:

Configure ConnectionTimeout (Version 1.5 forward)
connection_timeout (Versions prior to Firebird 1.5)
Number of seconds to wait before abandoning an attempt to connect.
Default
180 (so if you are getting 380 secs then something else in your network
is
causing a delay as well...)
