If a poor query is created, or if data source goes non responsive, the Spotfire server can hang with insufficient resources impacting ALL users.
While an admin can see the current connections against a source, there is no easy way to see the issued and running SQL for information links, and no way to see the SQL issued for data sources used with data connections.
Looking at the SQL log file can show issues but is harder to see those queries not completed.
Data connections do not even have this capability.
This can make Spotfire a bad player against enterprise DB's with no visibility as to what its users are doing.
