[Quoted] [Quoted] Indeed, but if I 'forget' that extra character then I have false assurance. [Quoted] [Quoted] If I mistype connect on the other hand I just curse and have another go. I [Quoted] don't think that its that i'm over cautious, just that if there is any possibility that the screen can say <development database> when I'm on the <production database> then *at the worst possible moment* this has a probability approaching 1 of happening :(.
