Is it just my imagination, or has Wikipedia been
running faster and smoother since Sysop SQL queries
were disabled?
In any event, someone somewhere did something right.
Thanks for all the efforts.

Sysop SQL queries on the database are now disabled.
If people have an
urgent need to perform queries and know what they're
doing, we may be
able to open up access on an individual basis, but
please be aware that
SQL offers many ways to shoot yourself in the foot.
Allowing this
access at all is a foolish thing that we do in the
spirit of openness
(like letting anyone edit our website ;) but we
can't afford to have
the site go down whenever somebody makes a typo.
