Display a window that says:
"Management has determined that this database shall not exceed
XXXmb. If your business function requires more disk space - take
it up with your manager."
Limiting database size is not a problem for developers, unless
they are unable/unwilling to explain to their management that
disks are a whole lot less expensive than terminating a database
application that depends them.
But then, M$ never takes any responsibility for the amount of
disk space it wastes.....
