If all he needs is select he cannot corrupt the DB if the DBA does not grant unnecessary privileges. Folks
use dblinks all the time.

One of our development DBAs suggested today to build a private database link between production and test database so that he can run some queries against both at the same time. I am a little concerned because he might make a mistake and accidentally corrupt the prod database. Anybody out there who is doing the same thing? Are there any other potential ramifications?
