Day started poorly. Page from CS - client whose database connection was down, and no, it was not the usual obvious "programs that connect system to database are off/can't reach system" (usually, either someone's shut them down, or the network has burped and knocked 'em loose). No, this time the database was really down. Our database specialist looked, and said the data files were actually missing.
Ummm. NOT happy. So we tell client. And, hours'n'hours later, database specialist calls me back. Got ahold of someone who knows more. He was looking in the wrong directory and didn't do any of the right stuff. All it was, was the database was in backup mode, so they kicked it out of backup mode, everything worked fine. *le sigh* I may have to learn DBA in addition to my other skills, in self-defense!! :)
I've scened Alariel. Three times...well, okay, I'm in the middle of the third.
I might even take Zulaikh out later this afternoon again, we'll see. Or poor Jemmael, who has been the neglected one of late, LOL.
Weekends are good. Today is going pretty well, especially now that the client's problem is fixed.
