Ant doesnt kill processes unless you set a timeout on exec or junit, and
tell junit to fork.
If you run junit with fork=false (the default) is is running in VM/
Now, <sql> is different as it is not a process, it is a JDBC operation.
So there is no process there to halt, though that may depend on your
database

Try running ant in -debug instead of -verbose, you get a lot more
information, most of which is unimportant. But as Jan said, this sounds
more like timeouts in your build server -there may be some options there
to fix things
(as an aside, what are you doing with a 2hour SQL query in a build? Is
it to set up the DB, or to test it?)
