Comment by Jeremy Bloomstrom on "I blew up something in production & it was my mistake. I was scolded by my manager. How do I take this forward and gain respect?"

Funny enough, I actually ran into this today. I ran an update statement in production and I thought I was in test. It updated some 1100 rows in our records management system. Thankfully, I realized the mistake immediately and started restoring a database alongside the production database. I was able to recover the mangled data before any users noticed the error. The lesson learned (apart from paying attention to what environment you are in) is that you should become intimately familiar with the restore process. Your backups are no good if you are unable to restore from them. My 2 cents.
