OK, after reading the thread again and again, I think I'm starting to understand what was Vlad shooting for. And I think his implementation makes sense (so I'm fine moving it forward). This also makes sense reading some of Vlad's scenarios in docs (although I see it more like client-side only feature).
*But.* With that I see another *highly* related feature. Some kind of resource governor. In our case (Sean, Mark, originally me) the simplest form of _working_ time consumed (so it's disk IO, index IO, memory, CPU all together - I think we don't have resources for extra detailed implementation). That would be only server-side configuration (_maybe_ option for DPB), because I see it strictly as DBA safety mechanism. -- Mgr.
