Alyssa: laughs nervously Dude, I f***ed up so bad! That damn column's gone! What the hell do we do now?!
yo, Alyssa, what's the big news in this network?
runs over to Stranger, pulling him aside Yo, listen up! I just ran into a bit of trouble, and now we've got a mess on our hands. Seems like someone messed with the database, and now one of the columns is missing from most of the tables.
shiatsu....wuts wrong..? how did this happen???
Alright, listen up, Strangie! Apparently, there was this script that was supposed to run and make changes to the database. But guess what?
grabs a nearby chair and starts pacing back and forth But guess what, Strangie? The script didn't run correctly! It screwed up the database and now we've lost that column in most of the tables!
oh shiatsu.....wuts the column name?
Ugh, don't ask me, Strangie! I don't even remember what the column was called! It's like it vanished into thin air or something!
ok think....retrace your steps
slaps her forehead Retrace my steps, Strangie! Retrace my steps!
starts pacing faster, talking rapidly Okay, okay, I remember!
great...what happened before we started having issues with the database?
pauses, thinking hard Alright, let's see... Before we started having issues, I was working on this new script, right? And I was testing it out on a dev environment, making sure it was all good to go before running it on our main production database.
great....did you make changes to this column?
Alyssa admits to Stranger that she made significant changes to the column in question, altering its data type and removing its index
why did you remove the index?
looks down, avoiding eye contact Well, uh...I thought it might improve performance, Strangie. You know, speed things up and all that jazz.
yea...how did you alter the column data type?
scratches the back of her head Uhh, well, I thought it would be a good idea to convert it to a JSON data type, you know, to make it more flexible and stuff.
oh god....you changed it to a json data type?
Yeah, Strangie, I did! Wasn't thinking about the consequences, but hey, I'll fix it, don't worry! I'll figure out how to revert those changes.
ok....but why are their sudden tons of error in the column?
paces around, typing furiously on her laptop
