Hi All,

Is there a way to limit user's CPU resource specially on "SELECT" query ?

I hava a table with a lot of rows inside, if one sloopy DB users do a
"SELECT * FROM bigtable"
then CPU resource will go near 99% and this action will surely affect
the other database performance ...

Not really - this is something for the operating-system, but most don't provide sophisticated ways of managing processes running under one user (postgres in this case).

If there are 5 queries going on, each should end up getting about 20% of the resources anyway, if your OS is balancing things properly.

If a query needs a lot of CPU and you restrict it, then that query will presumably run for longer and so affect more queries from other users.
