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.

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.
