Why is it not possible to KILL a SELECT process? The BOL states this is one of several process that can't be killed.

If users are retrieving vast amounts of data, taking up to many resources, those processes can't be killed?

What's the risk? That users receive partial result sets?

Has anyone any ideas on this subject?
