I once had to manage a MySQL Database that had a user table with over 3 million entries and no indexed unique ID field. Have you ever seen what it looks like to try and delete a single row in a database with no unique ID? The WHERE is every field in the table. #TuxScare

I deleted the entire database or so I thought. It turned out to be a backup I deleted and there were other backups so it was a horror/thriller. #TuxScare
