Coding this into the RDBMS is theoretically possible, and at least for InnoDB and other transactional engines (cluster, etc) you could trigger a rollback on quote full. However, such luxiory does not exist with MyISAM. While your setup is pretty nifty, I would suggest a different approach. Simply run a cron job that checks whatever you want to check, and adjusts user privileges accoringly (i.e. grant/revoke INSERT privs and any other privileges you want controlled). Depending on the cron job frequency that's slightly rougher in terms of disk space use, but the handling could be much cleaner.
