NHibernate SetTimeout on ICriteria

Question

Could someone tell me what the units the SetTimeout(int) method in the ICriteria interface uses?
Is it milliseconds, seconds, minutes or other?

Answer 1

I think it's seconds. The NHibernate API closely mirrors Hibernate Core for Java, where the Criteria.setTimeout(int) method uses seconds as the units (see also Statement.setQueryTimeout(int)).

Also, after looking at some NHibernate source, it appears that it's using that value to set the timeout for the underlying ADO.NET query, which uses seconds.
