It is really very bad of person to laugh on others misfortune, however dark humor is based on the same concept. It has been long time since I wrote something funny on this blog. Recently, I have came across forum discussion regarding backup misery of one of the developer. I feel very sorry for the DBA who lost their backup but I found the suggestions of other “SQL Experts” really humorous and helpful as well.

Some of the witty lines are :
OK, take a deep breath.
Write a resignation letter.
Go into your bosses office.
Own up.
You might lose your job, but at least you’ll be respected more.
This is why I think database vendors should disable DROP and DELETE by default if a WHERE clause is not specified. However, in the event that you need to use a DROP or DELETE without a WHERE, you should have to provide an overriding keyword something like:
DROP COMMIT tablename/dbname
DELETE COMMIT tablename/dbname
Or just DELETE tablename WHERE 1 = 1.
If you are really serious about database backup here are many articles written about Database BackUp and Restore.
