Yeah. I'd prefer per-database quotas, rather than per-user quotas, which
seem kind of useless. The hard part is making any transaction which
would exceed the per-database quota roll back cleanly with a
comprehensible error message rather than just having the database shut
down.

If we had per-database user quotas, and per-database users, it would pretty
much wind up all of the issues which ISPs have with Postgres.
