Definitely could create a headache. If you don't have a choice in the matter then create a profile/user account just for them, set resource_limit=true and setup some reasonable CPU limits, etc. If they bump up against the limits then you can ask, "What's wrong with your software that it consumes so much resource?"

Then take two aspirin and call us in the morning.

Lisa,
Your employer sounds like a complete moron. If I was you, I would start looking for another job. One of these days (maybe now), the database is going to be hosed and YOU will get the blame for it happening.

How many of you would allow a vendor to come in and do a demo on a PRODUCTION
DATABASE? I am being overridden. I am being told to allow it, it's their database and if
they hose it (who knows what this thing is going to do?) it's their problem. What? It's just a reporting tool, but STILL! I am concerned about it starting
runaway queries and eating up resources reserved for CUSTOMERS.

Can you feel my headache all the way from Minneapolis.... I should just take
the afternoon off.
Lisa
