 | `x-migrations-table` | `MigrationsTable` | Name of the migrations table |
 | `x-no-lock` | `NoLock` | Set to `true` to skip `GET_LOCK`/`RELEASE_LOCK` statements. Useful for [multi-master MySQL flavors](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/LATEST/features/pxc-strict-mode.html#explicit-table-locking). Only run migrations from one host when this is enabled. |
 | `x-statement-timeout` | `StatementTimeout` | Abort any statement that takes more than the specified number of milliseconds, functionally similar to [Server-side SELECT statement timeouts](https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/server-side-select-statement-timeouts/) but enforced by the client. Available for all versions of MySQL, not just >=5.7. | 
+| `x-try-lock-timeout` | `TryLockTimeoutSec` | Timeout in seconds to try to obtain migrations lock. A negative value means infinite timeout. Default value is `10` |
 | `dbname` | `DatabaseName` | The name of the database to connect to |
 | `user` | | The user to sign in as |
 | `password` | | The user's password |
