Where??

Programmer: Hey, man! What did you do to the database?
Jack: Nothing… Only an update for a client who asked to change the role of an user
Programmer: Uh… And by chance did you change his level to 4?
Jack: That’s right. Did you see that in the logs?
Programmer: No! You forgot the WHERE on UPDATE!!! All users are level 4 now!

    Grammer correction: “an user” is incorrect; it should be “a user”.

    please do something with the site and the facebook “like”-button, ’cause it posts wrong to the wall. With wrong picture (the portuguese flag), and wrong content “You may use these HTML tags and attributes:”
    thanks

    *Shudder*
    Hate it when that happens. Best reason to never attempt a quick-fix on a production server :)

    One really shouldn’t be adjusting user security roles by directly inputting raw SQL statements. Mr. Programmer needs to write an interface.
