Restrict resource comsumption for user

  • I have a user who I granted with read only access to our DW and I wanted to know if there is a way to restrict resource consumption. I don't want her to use like cartesian joins or write bad query and use all the resources. I know this question is a bit silly but I am just trying to learn. We use SQL Server 2008 Standard edition.

  • I would think you could do this using the Resource Governor feature.  Create a resource pool to limit the CPU usage for the login in question.

    Please note, I have not used RG myself, so I'm not sure how much help I could be in configuring it.

    RG won't work in this case due to the limitation of the version of SQL Server I am on.
