Why not create some views (not indexes)?  That way they don't have to 
know:
- That you have to join file A to file B on fields E,F and G.
- That the way to calculate on hand is Opening Balance + Receipts + 
Adjustments - Issues
- Does Available mean with, or without, what's committed to orders?
- If there is no matching record in file B do I want null values for it's 
fields or substitution fields?

The person who last really brought the system to it's knees using a query 
tool was the systems person in charge of that application.  Therefore it 
isn't just users that are the culprit.
