Don’t Do That

9 May, 2008. It was a Friday.

Over lunch today, I learned about one of the company’s recent acquisitions. Here’s the short of it:

The production system has between 6k-7k different Access databases (databases, not tables)
Since the app creates new databases on the fly, no one is sure which are production dbs

Don’t ever do that. Please. And no, I couldn’t make this one up even if I tried. 😉
