Aside from severely restricting access to analysts who need to investigate problems in production data we limit the CPU time in their profile to 5 minutes. That's a pretty generous limit and they've never had any issues with it.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 2:29 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I just wanted to ping the list to see what other people have done to control or constrain adhoc query users??? We have a group that is struggling with the adhoc query piece that's in production. Some of the users end up firing off insane queries. The group is trying to find a way to limit the amount of records queried for, so that a wild query doesn't hose the database. Appending a ROWNUM to the WHERE clause is one idea. Using USER PROFILEs is another. Any other thoughts?? Dare I ask...this custom app also runs on SQL Server, so SQL Server ideas would also be appreciated.
