DB2's infocenter is your friend:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2help/index.jsp

But I don't think the governor is a complete solution: while you can
set it up to allow differing access rules based on combinations of
userid, application, query duration, etc - I assume that application
name isn't always 100% reliable.
