Hello,
SET statement_timeout only set timeout for statement processing on server, it
not include the time of transfering data, which can be long for BLOBs. I've
found few posts that this is not enaugh solution "SET statement_timeout" from
above reasons. It's way those timeout is implemented in JDBC side.

Kind regards,
