Ah ha ha ah yeah.... I've done that. Something similar anyway (was deleting rows from production and hadn't selected the where clause of my query before I ran it). It was on my VERY FIRST DAY of a new job. Fortunately they were able to restore a several hours old copy from a sync to dev but the wasn't a real plan in place for dealing with such a situation. There could have just as easily not been a recent backup. This was in a company with 1,000 employees (dev team of 50) and millions in turnover. I've worked other places that are in such a precarious position too. At least my boss at the time took responsibility for it - new dev (junior), first day, production db = bad idea.
