I'm an idiot

Does this have anything to do with Tyson learning how to query databases?

Good thing Ron just released that new version, I guess. How often is the database backed up?
 
<Tyson> I ust did something really bad
<Tyson> and I pretty much need help now...
<Tyson> this is really bad
<+qqwref> wish I could help
<%PatrickJameson> did you just delete the entire WCA database?

We had joked about this at work too... with a trading firm who tried to play a April Fool's prank by updating the trading account value of one guy to 10 million... but they forgot a "WHERE name='GUY'" and updated EVERYONE.
 
It has been mentioned before, but the put-everything-in-one-giant-table structure isn't great. Among other things (performance issues!!), it is extremely vulnerable to this sort of mistake. So don't feel bad, Tyson.
