There is a tool called exactly the same as your title, namely, SQL Server Query. It is just a tool that comes with SQL Server that allows you to run any SQL statement.

Now, security is still an issue, so be sure the DBA sets proper permissions. Alternatively, if they are running Win 2K or above as their workstation, you can create a local SQL Server, have it run on their personal workstation and create a database and restore data from production. Then, you can let them do whatever they want, since the data with be real, but not be production. And whenever, they screw it up, just restore the database as needed.
