SQLite Time Limit Extension
— Designed as a Python C extension, the SQLite Time Limit Extension introduces a function, execute_with_timeout, enabling SQL queries against a SQLite database to be terminated if they exceed a specified millisecond threshold. This is achieved using SQLite's progress handler, ensuring that long-running queries do not block application responsiveness. Usage is simple via standard import, and rigorous tests are provided with pytest to validate both normal operation and timeouts.
