      I feel another contract is about to be terminated
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Don't worry - I once accidentally deleted the entire product file for a retailer. There was a backup...yup a single backup file which overwrote the previous nights backup..'cuz the DBA was too lazy/cheap to get a proper tape put in. Tip! when copying SPs from one SQL server to another tick off the "drop and recreate associated objects"(?) flag. Didn't discover this until Monday when the order refresh failed.

        I had to rebuild the product file from a week old Oracle backup and by pulling the remainf products from the Linux warehouse fullfillment system. Took half a day and I cocked it up as afterwards all the new product numbers started with 2xxxxxxxx instead of 1xxxxxxxx. Brill!

        I didn't hang around too long after that.

          done worse

          Back in permie days I was once having to temporarily free a lot of space on a development box

          I detached one of the databases, zipped up the datafiles, then deleted the data files, except i accidentally deleted the compressed file as well

          No backups anywhere! about 2 months of someones work gone, i tried a few undelete utilities (paid for out of my own pocket) and couldn't get it back.

          Ended up creating junk files of the same size, compressing them and then deleting them. I then "corrupted" the compressed file so it wouldn't open.

          Very dishonest of me!! however kept me off the hook, the project was shelved the week after anyway and for reasons completely unrelated to my balls up

            Has this turned into a "confession" type of thread?
            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
