I´ve some problems using the sqldetach() function. Sometimes it
happens that the functions fails to return. This is probably because
there is some problem with the database server. Anyway, can i set a
timeout for the function so that it returns with a values < 0 and
errno shows the reason? I just want that my application can react and
hasn´t to be killed from an administrator.

Greetings, Joerg

Read in the ESQL/C or CLI manual about the call-back feature. This
provides a simple timeout mechanism. The alternative is to use the
signal() system call interface to set a SIGALRM handler and timer to
configure the timeout yourself (pretty much that's what the call-back
is doing for you under the hood).
