That crappy day again…
Remember that crappy week I keep referring to? And the Saturday night that we all stayed in the office until 11PM? It turns out that the reason we stayed was because of a bug in an SQL request written by a French software developer which went along the lines of:
<<Horribly Complicated Request To Get Data>> WHERE Type = “Chanel”
When what he should have written was
<<Horribly Complicated Request To Get Data>> WHERE Type = “Channel”.
What is this French obsession with perfume? At least it took him until 11PM on the Sunday night until he realised his mistake. The annoying thing is that I had jokingly pointed out the spelling mistake while looking over his shoulder during the week…
