Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for managing execution of queries against databases and more particularly for restricting access to sensitive data in underlying databases. One embodiment includes an operation for managing access to sensitive data in a database. The operation includes receiving, from a requesting entity, a query against the data in the database. The query is executed against the database to obtain a result set. The operation further includes determining whether the result set includes sensitive data based on predefined sensitivity attributes associated with data in the result set. If so, a sensitivity rating is determined for the result set, and a predefined security action is performed with respect to the result set on the basis of the determined sensitivity rating.
