William: Check my old post. I agree with that Matthew. But if you still have to use the link make sure you give the user the appropiate provileges and assign him a profile to limit the ammount of resources he can consume with his queries.

RE: DB Link Between Prod and Test?
Well, you could create a user in the production database that only has select privileges and then create the database link to access that account. The big thing you'd have to be careful of here is that the person doesn't try to run some crazy query that bogs down the production system (but you could probably deter that potential hazard by setting up a nice little resource restrictive profile for that account)...
