The various naval forces in the world have the ability to accurately track a nearly silent submarine, yet the location of an actively pinging black box cannot be pin-pointed by that same equipment? I call bullshit.
"We could hear it but can't find it"? Seriously? All passive SONAR equipment keeps logs of signals in terms of strength and vector. A single ship can triangulate on a noise spike by simply traveling in a straight line at a constant speed for 10 miles or so. There's NO WAY they can't find it if it's under water. I used to track subs for a living. I know how that stuff works.

I meant to delete five rows from a table and wrote very quickly this
delete dbo.tblXYZ
where ID >= 116 or ID <= 120
ended blowing the whole table away. Talk about blowing your feet off
I know, I know it should have been AND not OR , it is too late now.
UPDATE: I have a backup, but lost a hour worth of work...

Ummm, is "I didn't do it" an option? If not, run, run away.

I'm the sole creator and maintainer of the data. No where to run
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid such problems, I usually substitute a SELECT query using the desired conditional clause to see what records will be affected BEFORE executing the DELETE query.
I hope it wasn't anything you can't recreate!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Real men do not care. They simply run the query.
And then in middle of night they restore the backup that they did before running the query.

Let's hope the OP had a backup.

I had a backup, but lost lost an hour worth of work, which is not bad considering the size of the table

being real man cost me my sleep

I do the same thing for an update as well, I may not qualify as a real man but I don't trash table these days.

You had backups of course?

what backup? Real men don't backup
I do, but lost an hour worth of work, which is not bad considering the size of the table if I didn't backup

Backup as in a bucket of 1s and 0s, in a logical order of course.

That's what you use BETWEEN for. Less ambiguity.

Have a template that says "START TRANSACTION" at the top; that way you can always rollback or commit your command.

So...you joined today. Welcome aboard. Enjoy, sit down, call the cat an Elephant.
I know it may not seem like it, but most of the messages in the Lounge make sense. The exceptions being anything posted by DD after about 22:00 GMT, and pretty much anything by BlueWaffle or me. Or MM after the pubs open. Or Nagy, come to think of it.
So try to avoid messages like "wat up with you" and a series of winking icons, as they will not make you any friends.

So... 90% of Lounge content?
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Do not trust the walrus.
The salmon run is late this year.
I hear the cuckoos are mating in the Appalachians.

"late"?
"late"?
Sure you are? Not "pink"?
Elephant! Come with me, if you want to live.
