No, you choose to do so. And, of course, that IS your choice to make.

Certainly they are; this thread exists simply because the question was allowed to be posted.

Really? And we thought it good, common sense to follow accepted practices. Silly us.

What, exactly, does that mean?

Because it illustrates a valid point of what happens when there are no backups taken of a database. To consider a 'development' database 'non-production' is likely wrong, as the development team uses it to produce code/applications, thus to them it IS a production database and should be worthy of the same attention as the 'actual production database' the end-users access. Shakespeare made this point in an earlier response.

Does that mean you don't read the documents you do look up?

What name do they use?

Why, then, would we promote internet searches for those who visit and present often-asked (and more often answered) questions if we don't understand the power of the medium? Your comment makes no sense.

Windows, VMS, Linux, OS/2, OS/400 as Oracle also runs on those operating systems. :)

And, in the context of this newsgroup, what other questions are asked here?
