Title: Gotcha! - When SQL Queries Turn Against You

So I was messing around with a dev project the other day and I accidentally turned my SQL query into a recursive loop that brought my poor server to its knees. Now I'm curious to know - have any of you guys ever had a SQL query go rogue on you and take down your system? What was the most epic fail you've ever experienced?

"Yooo, just had a similar incident last week with a buggy query on my company's DB. One typo and suddenly our entire sales dashboard was showing negative sales LOL. Glad to see folks discussing this, gonna keep an eye on this thread for tips"

"Dude, I've had my fair share of SQL query nightmares. I once wrote a query that was supposed to delete a single row, but I accidentally used a semicolon at the end, which ran the entire batch of delete statements and wiped out half our database. Needless to say, I had a long day ahead of me"

"Dude, been there, done that. Writing a simple SELECT statement can lead to a nightmare if not tested thoroughly. Anyone else have some crazy SQL story to share?"
