Hi there,

In order to change the configuration of a managed database cluster you need to use the DigitalOcean API rather than running the statements directly with the doadmin user.

You can refer to the documentation here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#operation/databases_patch_config

For the innodb_lock_wait_timeout configuration, you can pass an integer value between 1 and 3600.

Your request body will look as follows:

{'config': { 'innodb_lock_wait_timeout': '1200' }}

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
