You can die on a building site. Much riskier than a desk job.

Which would be worse? - worrying about a sand delivery, or worrying about an update to a live database that could screw up all the European orders for a company? One mistake (such as forgetting to reset a flag or something) and you're screwed. Oh, and your boss wants this done yesterday, and it's 9:30pm.
Give me the building site!
does your company not have a test site and testing department or are all updates done live?
Yuk could you not at least port the access tables to foxpro tables, much faster and more reliable and you can run the same updates and queries you have 'kludged' for the access tables .Unregistered said:The databases were a tangle of access linked databases & SQL Server and 'one off tables' etc.

It's called 'fire fighting', and it's very stressful.
No offence, honestly, but that's called a mess.
