This type of intrusion is aimed at disabling the functions and services normally available to users in a database system. In addition to the examples mentioned under T 5.28 Denial of services, database services can be disabled, for example, by selecting large amounts of data whose evaluation paralyses the entire system, or by locking access to data records.
