Resource limits

Since either the user’s login name or the application name, or both, are used to identify a resource limit, Adaptive Server observes a predefined search precedence while scanning the sysresourcelimits table for applicable limits for a login session. The following table describes the precedence of matching ordered pairs of login name and application name:

Level

Login name

Application name

1

joe_user

payroll

2

NULL

payroll

3

joe_user

NULL

If one or more matches are found for a given precedence level, no further levels are searched. This prevents conflicts regarding similar limits for different login/application combinations.

If no match is found at any level, no limit is imposed on the session.
