DBA Humor (Twisted, sick sort of stuff...)

Funny thing happened today.
Database backup for one of my development databases failed last night due to a 
space issue.  While fixing that issue today, we received an alert that the 
archivelog space was filling up.

Now, having sized these things fairly well, and not having these issues before, 
I started poking around (of course).

We're under some pretty tight deadlines right now and some of our devs were 
being really aggressive with their testing.

In the last 1.5 days we've generated over 500GB of archivelogs in this 
development instance.

Here's the kicker/humor:

The schema data itself is only 300GB!  LOL  (Personally, I thought that was 
funny)

So I asked the devs to modify what they're doing and to let me know what they 
need - if they really need to be doing this testing, we'll get the space they 
need.

Glad I'm on vacation next week...
