React as Senior DB Admin

@NoMad O M F G,
The times this happened while in production because of some dumbass wanting better performance on a report..

Bitch, if the tables are there, it's because they are needed to function!!!

@Lyym I cannot fathom how someone can actually be that stupid

@12bitfloat I also couldn't, then I experienced it first hand... More than once.
I convinced myself that such stupidity was only in movies. Boy was I wrong. And this is not the worst thing that happened in my years on the private sector.

@kibabu it should be dropped not delete.
I will show myself out

@sak96 there's some users that delete certain data from tables, and some cunts that go DELETE * FROM sooo it's still fitting. Technically the table is there, but useless now

@Lyym
Lol. That has hit too close to home for you, didn't it?

@NoMad yes, I only use the word cunt in special, deep seated, hatred filled ocassions.

@sak96 Yaah you got the point, the table will be deleted for the 'drop table <Table_Name>'

Deleting production data accidentally...classic 😂

@iamai

Me: why is there no data from yesterday?

User: because I only want to see data for today

Me: BITCH THAT'S WHAT THE "WHERE SECTION IS FOR"

Id love to say "Who gives non DB staff, drop/delete privileges?" but in my last workplace even the call center staff knew the one admin password for every single server.

@stonestorm Same here, and since they never cleared out old accounts from employees that left you could use those accounts if yours didn't have the roles/privileges you needed. Kinda impressed those cunts never got sued.
