Hi!
My toughest experiences:
5) Once spilled orange juice on my keyboard. Washed it with care, then threw
it away.
4) My colleague accidentially hit enter instead of backspace when wanted to
erase "*" from rm -rf * . Restored from backup.
3) Blindly assumed that MySQL had ACID properties when was asked to build a
small internet app about 5 years ago. Redesigned. (this one is very stupid
;)
2) Once spilled beer on my keyboard. Poured beer back to my glass. Threw
away the keyboard.
1) Had to fix a 8.1.6 database, which hadn't worked well, after what the
all-knowing CIO hired some ***hole to convert the same app into parallel
server. A lot of money was spent, but the app performed even worse. I was
called only to say that remove your OPS, remove one redolog member from all
redo groups (which were on the same disk), analyze tables and set two
parameters.
Good luck with your book.
Tanel.
