RE: Does this happen to you at work?

So sorry. Nice naming conventions. I imagined you inherited this from someone who had know idea what they were doing and created the databases out-of-the-box. Oh yeah - because you don't need a DBA.

I inherited databases setup by a developer. I found out that on the windows environment he was not bringing down the databases before schedule a cold backup. It took me about an hour of being on the job. He stopped calling himself a developer/DBA soon after that.=20
