Transaction backups would have helped here but possibly the upgrade wrecked them? They can help to turn a pretty big fuckup into a smaller one and have saved my ass a few times - who the fuck designs a language where no where clause just applies it to everything? Why couldn't UPDATE ALL IN `Table` have been part of the spec?

I don't know what's available for MariaDB - XtraBackup works nicely for regular MySQL and I've anecdotally heard of it being used at scale.

Also: it's a horrible feeling when that happens and I know it too well.
 
We should start a rumor that some dangerous/top secret information was leaked all over the farms and Null had to roll it back to hide it and just used the failed upgrade as a coverup. Youtube horror/conspiracy channels will call it "The Ghost Hours" or "The Lost Day" or something else super gay.
 
AH FINALLY WON, GAYDUR, KIWIFARMS HAD TO ROLL BACK BECAUSE OF ME

Null plans a couple weeks break from the farms...

It's obvious the CIA niggers were behind these DDOS attacks.

There is always a culprit in everything.
