    � The Support of LockTimeout keyword : The LockTimeout keyword setting specifies the number of seconds, that an application or a statement will wait to acquire a lock on a resource before the waiting operation is canceled and an error is returned. It mainly prevents applications from waiting indefinitely for a locked resource, which could lead to application hangs or deadlocks if not handled. 
        The LockTimeout can be set via DB2Connection.ConnectionString property's keyword, DB2ConnectionStringBuilder property, db2dsdriver.cfg config file.
        Values supported for LockTimeout keyword: 
            -1 : Often indicates an indefinite wait, meaning the application will wait until the lock is granted or a deadlock occurs.

            Positive integer <= 32767 : Specifies the number of seconds to wait before timing out.
