Alright, listen up, Strangie! Apparently, there was this script that was supposed to run and make changes to the database. But guess what?
Stranger

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!
Stranger

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!
Stranger

starts pacing faster, talking rapidly Okay, okay, I remember!
Stranger

Alyssa

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.
Stranger
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
Stranger
why did you remove the index?
Alyssa

looks down, avoiding eye contact Well, uh...I thought it might improve performance, Strangie. You know, speed things up and all that jazz.
Stranger
yea...how did you alter the column data type?
Alyssa
AI roleplay episode
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.
Stranger
oh god....you changed it to a json data type?
Alyssa

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.
Stranger
ok....but why are their sudden tons of error in the column?
