DoS'ing production DB's

Heya all,

I am wondering what the prevailing attitude is with customers in relation
to scanning production systems in particular database servers. I know from
my former life in the scanner world that customers typically reacted with
pure horror at the thought of a database server going down during a
pen-test or scan. Being a customer on this issue now I can better
understand their concerns. Anyone care to share their take on this and
whether your customers share these concerns?
