Yes but...

The developers use Cognos tools for all their development. Nobody writes any PL/SQL, triggers etc. So again, all that the developers might lose is data that they loaded which can be easily recovered by re-running the ETL process.

What I'm trying to say is that the environment from the database perpective is fairly static except when data is loaded. No users accessing directly, deveopers using third party tools for development and data changing slowly.

Thanks for the input.
