(I posted this request in BI section which might not be the correct one for this, so am posting it again here)
hello,

is there any way that we can trap any query which might have been incorrectly linked?

eg

if have 2 tables each containing a million records

and someone fires a query select * from a , b. I want to catch this before it gets executed. is there anyway? the issue is i am creating an online query builder where the users can create any query they want, and then i will be sending that query in form of stored procedure or a query to the server. It could potentially crash the server. i want to first check if this query could do it before i go ahead and execute it. Is there any way i can prevent this from happening? Please help my tool is ready just this one issue is bothering me.

Regards,
Ranjit

If you're looking for 'self-service' reporting, have you consifered using SSAS and SSIS for this, rather than building your own solution?
It's a lot more intuitive for most end-users

A backup strategy is worthless. A tested and documented *recovery* strategy though ... now you're starting to get somewhere.
