Abstract: A technique includes controlling compartmentalized access to a database, including, in a proxy for the database, mapping a user to a set of available query resources based at least in part on at least one credential provided by the user. Controlling the compartmentalized access to the database also includes exposing the set of available query resources to the user for selection based at least in part on the mapping. The set of available query resources includes a query object. The technique includes, in response to the user selecting a query resource, using the proxy to access the database for the user based on the selected query resource and returning a corresponding result to the user.
