dolt: Do not hit DROP Database

Soap Box
Posted by: Samiuela LV Taufa on July 06, 2007 12:00:43 PM

Note to self:

a) Do not hit the DROP database in phpmyadmin

b) Do not hit the DROP database in phpmyadmin

c) Do not hit the DROP database in phpmyadmin

For some clever and stupid reason, I slacked off and hit the DROP button on phpmyadmin when I was intending to clean up some unused tables on Nomoa's database.

Guess what happened ? Two weeks of posts disappeared before you could say Kalamazoo or Niuatoputapu depending on how far away you wanted to go.

The database backup was two weeks old, so we got most of the data back, and I had some of the posts backedup on the clients I use for updating the website, but essentially. If you want to be an administrator, don't do it on a slow link from the middle of Tonga and do not, repeat do not, hit DROP.
