Sometimes In SQL 2000 – for those who are still using it :) you get this:

Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name ‘sys.dm_exec_sessions’.

This is exactly what happens when people don’t follow directions or RTFM. The lazy rule the earth.

Sometimes when going to restore my database from .bak file, I get the following sort of message :

“Could not restore database, currently in use by this session”.

Should I use the same trick for this problem too ? Is it ok, or could cause something awkard ?

I think you did the right thing regardless of the tone. I once worked with a guy who decided to drop an important “TableSpace” on a production Oracle instance. The only reason it wasn’t a complete disaster was that there were transactions present which made dropping the space impossible.

Some times even the test environment can be considered critical as well. In my previous assignment, I was trying something on our test cluster, and an hour late, I came to know the Dev team needs that. I was not happy to stay back the whole night to fix it.

So a better approach would be to try in your own LAB… You are the admin, and you can play with it.

Pinal,

I have one thought in my mind,i want to share with u,

in feature if we have these kind of things please try to avoid notes about “Don’t” do things, some times people are crazy about Don’t do things they never keep them quite…

this is my idea only…!!! ignore if it’s not good.

Hi pinal,

Good day..

When i open this blog first thought is my eyes are forced me to watch the neat picture that was make me crazy what was the inside story behind it,when i deeply walk through on the actual story it was a bit pain that we should not do these kind of things without any knowledge,

it reminds me the way of behavior with work..!

thanks for sharing with us….!!

it’s really a stupid way to add test user account on Production environment.

Pretty sad

Pinal, if you think that might be rude, then you would consider me an absolute cave man! There was nothing wrong in what you said. Its the truth, posting this experience helps us all. thanks!

Sir,

It was not rude, it was needed and whatever you told that was right cause you already have warned and mentioned in yesterday post to not to be run in Production environment and he did the same by saying ‘development server was busy’, it doesn’t mean that if Dev/Test are busy then try on Prod..

Anyway both the post are great and I learned lot new things.
Thanks..
