Re: query timeout

I asked the same question some time ago, and IIRC the answer was that
the statement timeout only applies to interactive sessions. So
autovacuum would not be affected, but a vacuum run through psql yes.
You can also set it for a user (see "alter user ... set ..."), and use
separate users for application access and maintenance work.

Cheers,
Csaba.
