How do I increase the Command Timeout in OrmLite ServiceStack?

Question

I am using ServiceStack OrmLite SqlServer v3.9.71 and have the following connection string:

<add key="ConnStr" value="Data Source=my-db;Initial Catalog=Users;Integrated Security=SSPI;Connection Timeout=666"/>

and am using the following to run a query which takes 2-3 minutes to come back:

using (Db)
{
    var result = new ResultDto();

    Parallel.Invoke(
       () => { result.StatOne = Db.Dictionary<DateTime, int>(query1); },
       () => { result.StatTwo = Db.Dictionary<DateTime, int>(query2); }
    );

    return result;
}

When putting a break point on the Db object, I can see the connection time out to be 666 but I can't figure out how to set/increase the Command Timeout every time I run the above it times out after 30 seconds which is the default timeout.

Any ideas?

The timeout can be set in OrmLite with OrmLiteConfig.CommandTimeout that as a global config can either be statically configured either once on StartUp:

OrmLiteConfig.CommandTimeout = 666;

Or you can instead set the CommandTimeout scoped to a specific db connection with:

using (var db = DbFactory.Open())
{
    db.SetCommandTimeout(60);
    db.Select(...);
}
