A system for performing database operations, wherein a client communicates database access requests over a network, comprising:

• a computer readable medium including database resources;
• means for receiving a request to access database resources from a client over a network;
• means for adding an entry to a monitor list in the computer readable medium indicating a last access time to the database by the client, wherein the entry is associated with an access of database resources in response to the received request;
• means for scanning the monitor list to determine an entry where a difference of a current time and last access time exceeds a timeout threshold;
• and
• means for calling a function indicated in the entry, wherein the function causes an abort operation to be performed to terminate the access of database resources associated with the determined entry.
