Re: Been thinking
After we bought out another, much bigger, company I was restructuring the ICT department. The DB admin left as that role was no longer needed.
However, it came to the end of the month and the relevant audit was not adding up. It could be up or down by a few thousand. I kept being told that "DB_Admin" was brilliant at fixing this sort of issue and finding out where the discrepancy was.
I looked into it and found an interesting SQL able that calculated the final month end audit. At the end of the calculation was lines of additional code along the lines of Total +1813 -326 +871 +4563 -1453 etc
Basically, whatever the amount out was he just hard coded in that month to correct it.
