assigning process priority to transactions?

I am using ADO 2.8 and SQL server 2000.
Is there any way to assign process priorities to multiple DB connections?
For example, consider that there is a long-time taking transaction and many
short-time transactions running on a server machine. I want to assign low
priority to the long-time transaction to prevent from starvation of
short-time transactions. Of couse, let's assume that there is no locking
influence between them.
Please reply. Thanks in advance.

I am affraid you cannot do that. Perhaps you want to look at SET
LOCK_TIMEOUT command.
