this folks, is why you don't raw dog sql like some caveman
Me only know caveman. Not have big brain only smooth brain
But the adrenaline man... some of us are jonkies of adrenaline but we are too afraid of anything more of physically dangerous...
You may be interested in suicide linux then. it's a distro that wipes your entire hard drive if you mistype a command
Yep. If you're in a situation where you have to write SQL on the fly in prod, you have already failed.
Me doing it for multiple years in a Bank....Uhm...
(let's just say I am not outting my money near them... and not just because of that but other things...)
it's time to commit sqlpukku
Tell that to my former employer...
Yeah, I swear it's part of the culture at some places. At my first full-time job, my boss dropped the production database the week before I started. They lost at least a day of records because of it and he spent most of the first day telling me why writing sql in prod was bad.
Raw dog is the fastest way to finish a task.
It's a trade-off
There's no way you're endorsing the way OP handled their data right?
No, but people are sometimes forced to do these things because of pressure from management and/or lack of infrastructure to do it in any other way.
Definitely don't endorse it but I have done it. Think of a "Everything is down" situation that can be fixed in 1 minute with SQL.
Got it. I'm with you.
