There are a large number of query tools available today. These tools
allow end users to formulate their own queries and extract results of the
query to a file, to a spreadsheet, etc.
I'm looking for some practical advice on how to keep this "ad hoc" access
from crippling the
database. I'm especially concerned about end users creating queries that
consume vast resources.
Thanks for your help.
