You now have an excellent argument for disabling developer 
access to production databases.

Rajesh.Rao,
                                 I have the same experience. Developers 
directly connected to production database and added a column with default 
table on a huge table. The whole table is locked for 1 hour and other 
transaction failed.
                                 Add a column with non default value and 
then later add default value for it can be done in 1 second.
                                 Developers do not Know how oracle do it 
and just go on. New application going online without volume testing, 
getting online and as a production dba,i search for the bad sql and trace 
it out and send it back to developer!
                                 That is why many project fail, the app is 
designed and developed without the attendence of a guy who really knows 
oracle.
