ITIL gone mad....I'm currently at a client where a report was
producing results in the wrong order (because an ORDER BY had been
omitted from the driving SQL).
But (at this client)..."code fix" is rated more serious (in the ITIL world) than "data fix", namely, requires more red tape and more approval...
So management opted to hack the data to fix the problem than the fix the offending code...
Someone shoot me please...
