Hi,
I have some ASP (Classic) code that queries a SQL 2005 Express database. I'm currently handling programmatically if this DB goes down by handling the error when someone tries to connect and can't. I capture the error and bypass subsequent db queries to this database using a session variable.
My problem is that this first query takes about 20 seconds before it timeouts.
I'd like to reduce this timeout length but can't find which property either in the code or database is the right one to reduce.
I've tried following in the code;
con.CommandTimeout = 5
con.CONNECTIONTIMEOUT = 5
Any suggestions please?
Thanks,
Andy
