   **Why use database timeouts?**
 
-  Queries that change the database schema can get blocked because of
-  long-running transactions and queries. These blocked migration queries, in
-  turn, block subsequent queries as well. This is the basic ingredient for an
-  outage.
+  Timeouts are a way of preventing queries / transactions running for too long.
 
-  Using responsible values of ``lock_timeout`` and ``statement_timeout`` in
-  places where you might have a long-running transaction or query will help
