RE: Would you allow this?

Yes, it was politics, not best interests, speaking earlier. The decision has changed and the demo is not being allowed, I raised a holy stink about it. (Boy they love me) I'm gone at the end of the month anyway. And I thought I had an even temper... I could play lame duck and not care but it just isn't me. Instead I am spending the last two weeks re-implementing a backup strategy and migrating a database.

However I am convinced that wherever I work next is not going to be much different.

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
