Hi,
Some of our users have the need to run queries against production DB's. They are light SQL users - meaning they need to run light queries against production occasionally.
I do not really want to give them SSMS with READ only access to production - because they could still easily write a query that would fill tempDB, overload resources, etc..etc..They know just enough to be dangerous.
Is there a 'light' SSMS type of tool that could be used for this? Is there a way to limit the SSMS application itself?

If they are that bad then write them an application with pre-written queries. Otherwise just give them access to SSMS with appropriate permissions.

SQL's Query Cost Governor is all that I'm aware of toward that end. This is a before-execution, based-on-estimates governor, so it's not 100% accurate. But hopefully it would prevent anything too extreme from being run.
