SESSION_LIMIT_TXN_TIME and its effect on logging

The SESSION_LIMIT_TXN_TIME configuration parameter limits how much time a transaction can run in a session, and can prevent individual session transactions from monopolizing the logical log.

The database server terminates a transaction that exceeds the SESSION_LIMIT_TXN_TIME limit, and produces an error in the database server message log.

SESSION_LIMIT_TXN_TIME does not apply to a user who holds administrative privileges, such as user informix or a DBSA user.
