Dennis,

    Happens ALL the time.  We use a focal point who is application specific and
knowledgeable to filter the requests, plus a network shared folder (for the DBA
crew only) where we store them and their log files.  Kind of like a Pearl Harbor
file.

Hi folks -
I have received a stream of requests from developers/production support (
yep, same group, dont ask ) to do ad-hoc data massaging in the production
databases. Since I don't know the applications that well, it's hard for me
to push back these requests when told that if the script don't get run
today, marketing department won't be able to use the system etc.  I wonder
if other people on the list have the same problem and I am thinking about
coming up with a document for the developers to fill out making sure the
request won't hose up the database. I wonder how other shops deal with
issues like these and can you let me know what you can do to check for
potential issues with a sql script.

TIA
