My most stressful times as a developer always were related to database and manipulating production data.
Subtle corruption that silently degrade your whole company's data, hearing customers come back with complaints days after you've released your code because stats don't seem to make sense anymore... And understanding after you found the issue that you'll have to run batches to manually fix the bad data and restore anything that was affected.
That's definitely an experience i'll never ever forget.
