is there any backend (server) timeout undocumented?

    Hi!

    I have sended the message below to pgadmin-support (by mistake I
think) and to pgsql-hackers but receive no answers... I hope you can help me
on this...

    Is there any server timeout that is undocumented?

    I've issued a query like the one below and the server timed out after
120min (+/-). The query "construct_warehouse()" can last well above the
120min because it fills a table with millions of tuples... I really believe
in PostgreSQL! :-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
spid=> vacuum full analyze ; select construct_warehouse() ; vacuum analyze ;
NOTICE:  Skipping "pg_group" --- only table or database owner can VACUUM it
NOTICE:  Skipping "pg_database" --- only table or database owner can VACUUM it
NOTICE:  Skipping "pg_shadow" --- only table or database owner can VACUUM it
VACUUM
server closed the connection unexpectedly
    This probably means the server terminated abnormally
    before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
You are currently not connected to a database.
!> \q
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I've searched the archives for some documented timeout but nothing...

    I've searched the postgresql.conf file and nothing...

    Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

    Note: the first time I noticed a time out was using a JDBC driver and
then I've tested in the pgsql console to confirm it.
