Our department has our own physical database server, on which only our department has access.

Our department supervisor tried to run a Qlikview app that uses stored procedures, which may or may not use functions as well.

Only me and two other people have execute permissions on OUR server, and the department supervisor is not one of them.

So, I send an email to the DBA(sshole) downstairs and request that our AD group (which only includes the people in our office) be given execute permission on every database and stored proc/function.

His response: "Are you sure you want to do that?"

After another half-dozen exchanges:

Him: "Can you give me specifics? Which database stored proc/function are they trying to execute?"

Me: "Really? You want to do this one-at-a-f*ckin-time? Fine - I can play that." and I gave the db/func name, ending with "This is f*ckin absurd."

I'm sure I'm gonna get a call from HR, but these idiots are standing in the way of us doing our jobs.
