No, my assumption is that lock_timeout does not cover my use case here. My
point is actually that any one statement is not hitting lock_timeout, but
as a whole the transaction takes too long. For example if I set
lock_timeout to 1 second, but my migration actually has 10 SQL statements
each of which take just under a second, I have a total now of a near
10-second lockout.

Regardless of whether or not I am technically going idle, I want to be able
to abort based on transaction time length. I do believe I can handle this
externally via the timeout command, but curious still if there is any way
to reliably do it from within postgres.

Thanks,
Jeremy
