If am not wrong, the default query timeout of a query submitted to database engine from a .net/java application is 30 seconds. This means that if query runs for more than 30 seconds the sql server throws exception to the application and terminates the query.
However, I faced a strange issue today. The query timed out, i.e. it ran more than 30 seconds, the application log reported that it got the timeout exception but in SQL profiler said that the query ran for 90 seconds...
Just to confirm that does the query timeout of 30 sec means that SQL server throws timeout exception to the calling application and terminates the query or it continues to execute the query?
