Also, keep in mind, that while your existing usage may be relatively low, down the road, it will grow, and it is much harder to implement quotes and other limits after you have already started to exceed them. In other words, it is much easier (and, therefore, cheaper) to "do things right, right from the start" then to try and change things later. You might also ask, "Can you justify why we should *not* implement quotas?" No quotas means user resource consumption can potentially grow without bounds. That means you will have to keep buying additional resources (disks, RAM, whole servers, machine rooms, etc.). What is the business justification for that kind of policy? (Whether or not being this direct with your management is a good idea depends on your particular situation, of course.) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
