Re: Y2K Testing

That depends on:

1. what is in your database?
2. what are you doing in your testing?
3. what do you consider bad things?
4. is this your production database?

The biggest problem would be if you have event driven transactions in your database or part of your testing. It could trigger those off or create unneccessary transactions to kick off later. It will not effect any of the system catalogues if that is what is "bad".
