Accidentally nuked production database

[WTFH]

1) Segregate DEV, Test and Production environments completely.

Racist!!!

Send the Test environments home. We don't need test environments coming over here, taking up our storage, claiming our kernels and lowering the performance.

ooooohhh you dba's get so protective, god help you if a clever dev ends up doing a bit of database work and your plate juggling is found out.

Not a DBA, I just recognise the need for them.

Devs should go nowhere near R/W on production. They should be allowed to review them to see what the DBAs screwed up.

Point is there should be a process.

Why should I do a job that I can dump on someone else?

I'm only messin - I recognise the need for processes, I just don't like the distinction between DBA's and Devs. I think a developer needs to have an excellent and practical understanding of databases.

I'm not a DBA, but I've worked with a few.

Been both an SA and DBA in my time but know how bad things get when you let Coders learn on the job.

I once watched a live deployment where the first step in the job was run the file

backup_live_marketdataDB.sh

Next step was

drop_tablespace_live_marketdataDB.sh

First script failed second one didn't....

I pointed out that his laptop is not the DEV/TEST or LIVE environment and the ******* script should have been working because the Junior SA just destroyed the market data DB that had 20 years historical pricing and that the upgrade and reload had better work or there will be a lot of very pissed off traders...

that client had a less than 50% success rate for development code successfully deploying to live first time...

I'm fairly confident this tale of woe didn't happen. It's a typical troll post.
