Hmm, depends on your definition of Development I suppose. Most sites I worked at have Development for the developers to actually code. Give them access to somehting new and they're sure to use it. You would then have to fight to not use it in Production. Plus, how do you actually ensure they use functionality that works the same way between Development and Production. Hope you have a serious Test environment.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but I would make sure you use a DBA Test environment for your playground rather than real Development.

HTH. Additions and corrections welcome.
