This DBA means business!
-
There's a production deployment of our application coming up next week and I was asked to draft a deployment plan and send it out for review. As part of the tasks the DBA is responsible for, I put the following:
Lock out users that are still using the server database.
The DBA promptly replied and requested that this be re-phrased like this:
Kill users that are still using the server database.
I quickly apologized and immediately made the change!

Less serious, I had the materialist DBA hat on today - only money fields in my tables for floats.

You may want to change that to user processes, after all it is going to management and they have some weird ideas on interpreting technical docs.

But that won't kill the root of the problem, right? ;P

Yeah but you need to root problem to start up again after the upgrade is completed. As much as we bitch about our users they are the reason we are employed.
