Abstract
A method for execution by a query processing system includes receiving a query request from a requesting entity. Query cost data is generated based on the query request by utilizing a query pricing scheme. Minimum query cost compliance data is generated for the query request based on determining whether the minimum query cost data complies with a minimum query cost rule. When the minimum query cost compliance data indicates the minimum query cost data complies with the minimum query cost rule a query result is generated based on facilitating execution of the query by executing at least one query function of the query against a database system, and the query result is transmitted to the requesting entity. When the minimum query cost compliance data indicates the query cost data does not comply with the minimum query cost rule, the query result is not transmitted to the requesting entity.
