An Oracle server waits indefinitely for lock conflicts between transactions to
be resolved. You can limit the amount of time that an Oracle server waits for
locks to be resolved by setting the Oracle8 ODBC Driver¿ LockTimeOut entry in the oraodbc.ini file. The value you enter for the
LockTimeOut parameter is the number of seconds after which an Oracle server will
time out if it cannot obtain the requested locks. In the following example, the
Oracle server will time out after 60 seconds:
[Oracle ODBC Driver Common]
Driver Logging=0
RemoveControlChars=NO
LockTimeOut=60
