Best practise to provide non-DBAs querying capabilities in SQL200

When we used SQLServer 2000, we installed just query analyzer on desktops of
several of our IT folks so they could query data easily. Some of these folks
have admin priv for non-DBA reasons. Now that querying data is integrated
into the SQL 2005 management studio I am not sure the best way to provide
this function to these users. I don't want to give the full management
studio, especially to those with Admin but no appreciation for DBA tasks.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

but QALite may do the trick if I that does not work out. The info I found
on it does not mention SQL2005 , just SQL2000, SQL Server7. Any experience
with QALite on SQL2005?

all things), I think there's a good chance that QALite does as well.
