Re: Once again... quotas...

2001-02-21 Thread Mikel King

At the company I work for we decided to try and implement reverse quotas.
rather than limit said user to x we keep track of their usage and compare it
to x. If they should happen to exceed that values then they are billed for
the overage. It's very muhc like how UU bills us on our bandwidth for the
burstable circuits.

Cheers,
Mikel

 Hi There,

   I have recently been asked to implement per database quotas
 for mysql for a large scale shared webhosting environmnet,
 from the lists it seems pretty obvious that mysql cant achieve
 this at the moment (without using filesystem quotas), file
 system quotaing is pretty awkward with our environment.

   Ive been asked to investigate the possibility of implementing
 this and my boss has agreed that we can release the code back
 to the community if we decide to do it.

   I found one posting that mentioned that someone at MySQL
 had some ideas on how you would like this implemented, if
 this is still the case could they post them to me, if it
 can fit in our timeframe Id be more than happy to do it.

   It really would be a nice feature.
