I totally agree, if feasible those steps should be done! I was just trying to explain that many business like the one I'm at don't do business in tech (mine sells wholesale clothing), with 6 people in the tech dep, so understandably there's certain limitations on how far best practices can go. While I would usually consider it a mistake, if you thought you were just making a quick, what should be read only query, and it happens to hit some random edgecase-bug and crash a db... Edit, continuing - Sure you should have tested that on the test DB first, but I'd be kinda understanding of how that happened. Depends on the business too, if you're a startup-tech company then yea, get your -stuff- together! It's just a lot of business only need their website and some order management, their focus isn't on the tech side of things.
