> The fact that a developer was making manual changes in a production environment points to bad process and lack of knowledge of a better way.

I'm guessing this is relating to my SQL mishap in the opening lines? You're making assumptions that I was doing something manually in production here, and not that I was executing a script that was buggy or against the wrong machine.

Sure, we could build safeguards against this, but it wasn't something we really considered would happen. Needless to say, we've learned from that one!
