title: Is it possible for a SQL query to crash a database
body: <p>So for one of my computing assignments, I need to state, some changes that could not be made since they were out of scope.</p>
  
  <p>One of the changes I intend to talk about is to "Reconsider if acquiring all the reports in a Enterprise Resource Planning software is needed"</p>
  
  <p>My main argument is this, say we have  a ERP software which is hooked to database, the multinational corporation which is utilizing a database, stores approximately 25 million reports.</p>
  
  <p>Can running a SQL query, which retrieves all the reports crash/really slow down the software system/crash the database.</p>
