Oracle? (Score:2)

by djberg96 (2603) on 2009.06.30 7:41 (#69188) Journal

At Qwest we had a snapshot of the production database for people to run reports off of. It had a few limitations (you couldn't snap some of the larger field types), but it worked pretty well.
Also, with Oracle you can set IO limits on a per account basis, so queries like the one you mention would simply timeout after a while.
Does MySQL provide such features?
