"Some users had some data deleted from the database during some database changes on 12/30. We apologize for the inconvenience if you were one of the group of users affected - it stinks to lose data, we're very sorry and we will try very hard to make sure no users ever lose data again. Thanks."
What did you do?
- jgmmo 11y agoI made the classic mistake of assuming all imperial units; not much need for decimals in that case - so I had used INT types a lot of places where I was tracking weight. What a beginner mistake. Last night, recognizing that no one using the metric system could enter their weight in float form - I switched it to Floats thinking it wouldn't be an issue but due to the way GAE NDB datatstore works; it ended up rewriting the switched values to all None. I had pulled the trigger too soon. It was a clusterfudge. Ruined my night. But, that said -- atleast now the entire site is decimal/float friendly, as it should've been from the start. Fortunately, I'm the main person that had their data destroyed by the db change. You live and you learn.
