Lessons Learned after a Hell Weekend

  1. A necessary part of any database project plan is a fall back plan. What is planned if there is a failure at any particular step.
  2. Backup - this includes enough space allocated for additional backups as needed.
  3. Part of any upgrade script should be rollback scripts.
