Actually no. But we usually script our actions and test the scripts prior to doing anything in production. As a sys admin, I've restored enough casualties of the "rm -rf *" command to be rather careful about it myself. > Um, I have. I was wondering if anyone had. But I could turn this around too and give an example of when duplexing the redos failed to save me. One so-called patch that Compaq released for Tru64 actually caused disk writes to be unreliable (OH MY GOD!!). And we wound up with a G.D. mess in spite of the redos being duplexed all nice and official. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephen Lee INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
