Patent attributes
Aspects of the invention include assessing, by a management layer executing on a first processor, a query from a client application requesting data from a server. The assessing occurs prior to the query being executed by a provider. The assessing includes extracting, by the management layer, characteristics of the query. The management layer compares the extracted query characteristics with a policy defined by the provider. Based at least in part on results of the comparing, it is determined by the management layer whether the query is permitted to be executed by the provider at the server. The management layer initiates execution of the query at the server in response to determining that the query is permitted to be executed. The management layer prevents execution of the query at the server in response to determining that the query is not permitted to be executed.
