Here is my situation. I have one SQL Server 2000 which houses our production db. We will start creating some custom reports via sql , so I created a development db on the same server. My question is this :
How to I prevent malformed queries on the development db from affecting performance on the production db. Ideally I should have a separate server for development and production, but due to costs cant do it.

I have seen in the past where someone creates a mal-formed query in development, like a select * on a huge table, that then results in a severe performance impact on production.

thanks

There is no way to prevent a bad query from impacting production. They share resources such as CPU. Select * on a huge table will likely cause the CPU to be over 90%, thus impacting production.
