Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with supporting queries with soft time constraints are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes logic for accepting a query having a soft time constraint. The example system may also include logic for rewriting the query having the soft time constraint into a query having a row limitation or a sample percentage limitation. In one example, the row limitation or sample percentage limitation are computed by repetitively comparing an estimated query execution time to the soft time constraint.
