have you considered changing the production passwords? They can't break what
they can't access!
Set up another schema that actually OWNS the objects, then grant select etc
as necessary, create synonyms etc etc...
And whatever you do.... document what's going on. When the db crashes you
want to be able to show exactly why and who
Enjoy the drink!
