William,
There are a number of problems that you can have with developers
having backdoor access, other than read only, that are regulatory in
nature, other wise known as "cooking the books". This inherently is a
problem because many applications don't audit system access outside of
the application. They can also create a pile of problems with
applications by locking objects, rows, or other items that you normally
would not see. I remember a developer who somehow had production access
& was trying to replace a package in the production DB, thinking he was
on dev. It locked up the application for a good 10 minutes and then
caused a pile of errors, corrupted data, etc..., that lead up to a 6
hour down time. OOPS didn't even come close.

I would be happy just being able to lock them out of production
(read-only access). I'm trying to run uphill into a 100mph headwind.

William,
I have no problem with developers having READ ONLY access to
production, staging, and QA. It gives them an ability to research
problems with the app without always having to bother me. Beyond that no
I do not approve of developers having access to anything other than DEV
& I like to throw them all out on a monthly basis so that I can "rake
out the sandbox".

Greetings listers,
I am trying to justify locking the developers out of our production
database but I need your help. We just moved to a new landscape because
the developers had horked up the last one so bad (production/qa/dev were
completely out of sync). Please take a minute or two to visit
SurveyMonkey and answer the survey I created.

Thank you,
