I get nervous when I drop a table in development... Typically you don't get a
database development environment and any mistake a member of the database team
makes impacts the rest of the team(java, .net, whatever). So you drop the wrong
table in development and you can stop development for a while.
I was on a project where we didn't have a development environment. I wrote code
against a database with 30,000 users(every employee at a large US bank) during
regular business hours. The code I was writing was k-shell code to drop a
tablespace and then 'rm' the corresponding datafile.
Also, the database was hosted at the client and we developed it remotely. Our
company did not have the 'oracle' password, so the client was DBA was managing
backup and recovery. So if I screwed up we would have to call the client and
ask them to fix it.
I asked my boss for a development environment and he said 'It's ok to code
against production as long as you don't make a mistake'.
