First: You're using a very old patch release with known bugs. Update to
8.4.10 .

As for the timeout: PostgreSQL doesn't support query timeouts. It
supports a session-level statement timeout. I don't know whether the
ODBC driver uses that or not. Examine the ODBC `mylog' output after
enabling psqlODBC debugging, and examine the server log after turning on
query logging, so you can see what the ODBC driver actually asks the
server for when you set a query timeout.
