ars138161yMy first day in one job, the CEO gave me access to the prod db after I asked for a sandbox to do my db tests. Right before I clicked the confirm button to drop a table, I asked him “just checking but this is a development database right? Because I’m about to drop this table.” And he’s like “yeah please don’t do that”. - 
				
				welcome to the club!
Now, where are these backups... Oh, the last backup is 2 months old? Oh well, better than nothing. - 
				
				
galena74891y@netikras Backup was almost 8 months old... How long do we store historical data in the DB? One year... - 
				
				
enpega1971yBeen there…done that.
In my case I felt like crap for a week, though time heals anything. - 
				
				
cprn18351yOh, yeah, I once recovered 80 gigs of db storage too - good times. It finally stopped randomly freezing. 

Today it finally happend! I deleted Prod!
Accidentally connected to the wrong db to wipe it.
