Causing a timeout error

    What if I create a transaction on the table and leave it uncommitted, will this cause a timeout in the script when trying to connect? If so, will this only lock up the table, not the entire database?

    No. That'll just leave a lock on the table. You might end up getting a command timeout when running queries against that table from an app, but not a connection timeout (timeout connecting to the DB)
