JDBC Statement.setQueryTimeout : is there plan to implement this?

Query timeout is not supported in JDBC (driver version 9.1-901.jdbc4)

Statement.setQueryTimeout(int seconds) throws an exception when seconds > 0.

(in drivers prior to 8.3 there was no error but it was ignored)

Using Java + transaction management, we are missing this feature badly.

I found people trying to fallback using "SELECT statement_timeout(SEC)".

But this is useless in many cases (I mean transaction manager does it's work independently) : 

- my code do not directly decides to start a transaction

- some code may have different transaction settings

So I couldn't easily introduce the good select statement at the right moment.

Even if the behaviour is not implemented, I guess it could be "mocked" if the call to Statement.setQueryTimeout(int seconds) generated the select statement "SELECT statement_timeout(SEC)".

I know this is not ideal but could solve the problem temporarily.

I could even be turned on by some driver settings.
