| <cwilbur> | we have a database table with fifteen million rows in it. |
|
<cwilbur> | they brought a manual database change in. |
|
<cwilbur> | "please print a table dump before and after you make the change." |
|
<Azhrarn> | nothing like hard copy to recover mistakes from! |
|
<cwilbur> | there are fifteen million rows in the table. if you want us to make a dump of the table just in case, that makes sense. but do you really want a *book*? |
|
<cwilbur> | "our policy says that we need a printout." |
|
<confound> | hahaha |
|
<cwilbur> | oooookay. |
|
<Azhrarn> | print out a link to the backup on your intranet :) |
|
<confound> | "that's not MY policy." |
|
<cwilbur> | no, they want a printout, they'll get a printout. |
|
<pmichaud> | what font size? how many lines per page? |
|
<Azhrarn> | Poor trees |
|
<Halfjack> | They'll only want it once. |
|
<cwilbur> | when someone asks why we've gone through three toner cartridges and the printer is still printing, we'll refer them to the twit. |
|
<Azhrarn> | shrink the font till it fits on one page :) |
|
