The default is -1 which means “no timeout”
To reset it to the previous value that may not be the default in that connection, store the value from
@@LOCK_TIMEOUTand change it back later. You’ll need dynamic SQL.However, it’s reset when the connection is dropped as per SET LOCK_TIMEOUT
So, unless you persist the connection indefinitely you don’t need to do anything…
