It's all fun and games until you expose an SQL interface to your mainframe database in Excel so that the guys and gals in accounting, purchase, and marketing finally stop pestering you with change requests to their reports, just to find out that some extra-curious and clever gal in purchase managed to bring down the entire mainframe by constructing a SQL statement using a bunch of nested outer joins...

And while the blinkenlights in the server room start to morse at you through the window in the door in a menacing pattern, the guys and gals in server ops demand answers as they point at the avalanche of warning- and error messages that started lighting up the terminals like a Jedi knight fighting a swarm of mosquitoes in the swamps of Dagobar at midnight with his light sabre.

At this moment you can only begin to fathom what happens in operations at this moment, with orders being delayed, fulfilment rates dropping by the minute, pickers and lorry drivers starting to get pissed off at the nerd in IT who must have screwed up again and they know where your car is parked.

I guess what I really wanted to say is: be careful what you wish for, it might bite you in the end :)
