IDENTIFICATION, NOTIFICATION, AND CONTROL OF DATA ACCESS QUANTITY AND PATTERNS
First Claim
1. A method for limiting access to data in a database, the method comprising:
- allowing access to data in a database;
determining if at least one of an instantaneous rate of a data flow and a volume of data accessed in the database exceeds a previously specified value; and
disallowing access to the data in the database in response to the at least one of an instantaneous rate and a volume of data exceeding the previously specified value.

Abstract
A device for limiting access to data in a database includes an input for receiving a request to access data in a database and a processor that is communicatively coupled to the input and allows access to the data in the database. A data counter for counting an instantaneous rate of data flow and/or a volume of data accessed and a comparator for determining if the data flow and/or the volume of data accessed in the database exceeds a previously specified value is also included, wherein the processor disallows access to the data in the database in response to the instantaneous rate and/or the volume of data exceeding the previously specified value.
