Some might disagree but don't use .log as an extension for online or archived
redo log files. Sometimes admins look for space by searching for log files...
the stupid ones add -exec rm {} to the find command and poof, it's a bad day. I
know, I had it happen once... long ago..... in a galaxy far far away.... That
admin is just about to start returning to the sun in the orbit my boot put his
butt in.... :-)

Subject: major blunders
Compiling a list of major blunders to avoid:
Don't use the number 8 for scripting or ORACLE_SID due to the wild card
character * above it.
Don't use rm *.*
....
Anyone else have some to contribute?
thanks
