hmm...appreciation mails!!??

So amazed by the stupidity of this client of mine..

Initially there was this problem with Mysql going crazy each day and tables crashing; then the batch component that was using this database consuming higher processing power (there was this guy from one heck of a tech-fundoo company who said that on a quad-core machine, 25% consumption meant you were using 1 processor for yourself!! Not sure if it works that way but sounded too illogical to me and wonder what they will do with the other 75%?!)..We can came up with some stupid approach to clear the so-called back log of over 4 weeks..To be true we had planned to load only 3 weeks of data..all said and done..this bugging process took 14 hours to clear 4M records and mails started pouring in from all over appreciating 'your hard work, perseverance, commitment' and whatever adjective you can think of.

To top this all, the appreciation mail from Mr.X copying his manager was too comical.he is still of the view that all this happened just because we had a job turned on which was not supposed to be the case..ooph..sometimes you just have to leave people that way..there is perhaps some use even in speaking to the wall..not sure i need to meet him tomorrow(ooveee..)

Who knows that all data on that data store built specifically for this purpose is only junk; even if you can be so generous to call it that way.nobody on earth wants to know what is in that store and are looking for some crap count that comes from this table...!!!

This still is not resolved and we are to identify if this high CPU usage is because of our component.Some things never seem to end!!


oo.so many things happened last week that i am just not able to put it in any order..just remembered that one day the DBA said one table was missing after the repair database operation and he did not have the back up files because his laptop was out of space!!and people were searching all over the network for one copy of that file..luckily they managed to find it out..!!whew...
