@alexbrooklyn We only have prod and uh...yeah about the backups...previously devs/admins were less than thorough about that kind of stuff.
I'm in the process of cleaning stuff up so we can do a database upgrade and get real backups in place. -
From @BobbyTables to Wobbly tables 😛

@alexbrooklyn My mom was always so worried about SQL injections she never taught me the benefits of a good backup system.

@ihatecomputers bungee jumping! Cliff diving!

Oh @BobbyTables! I hope you got all of your injections (UK term for shot) before doing any production work.

@BobbyTables even if you are cleaning up the ground to make a decent backup system, always make a damn backup. Never work in production. It's the rule number 1 and a lot of peoples don't follow it.

I just almost shat myself.
I altered the wrong database table column...truncated data we are required to keep for government compliance.
Luckily I had exported that table earlier today and was able to recover it all. I'm in need of a very strong drink right about now.
