The IM conversation below is part of a much longer one (notice the date stamps) between a friend who we'll just call 'TR' and a developer.
Developer (11 Oct 2009 14:39:51): I created some users and now they are gone?
TR (11 Oct 2009 14:40:01): We have implemented a daily flashback to the data baseline so that repeatable tests can run every day in that database.
TR (11 Oct 2009 14:40:03): You need to notify us (as per the mail I sent out) when you make data changes that you want to keep from day to day.
TR (11 Oct 2009 14:40:06): Ok, so could you please create those users again and let me know? I'll create a new baseline for the refresh....
Developer (11 Oct 2009 14:45:51): i wonder if i ll be able this afternoon
Developer (11 Oct 2009 14:46:12): so i can do it tomorrow and send you the list
Developer (11 Oct 2009 14:46:25): You can go ahead wit the refreh of today without my users
TR (11 Oct 2009 14:48:29): Ok, I don't need the list, just to know once you have created them.
Developer (11 Oct 2009 14:50:18): ok
Developer (20 Oct 2009 16:57:53): hi TR
TR (20 Oct 2009 16:57:59): Hi
Developer (20 Oct 2009 16:58:06): Are you still doing the DB refresh on daily basis?
TR (20 Oct 2009 16:58:20): Yes. It's automatic, I don't actually *do* anything.
Developer (20 Oct 2009 16:58:24):
Developer (20 Oct 2009 16:58:27): ok
Developer (20 Oct 2009 16:58:33): then
Developer (20 Oct 2009 16:59:22): i see
Developer (20 Oct 2009 17:01:42): actually i m looking for this user on alpha qa2_PN3D8J20aa
Developer (20 Oct 2009 17:01:52): i can't find it in the db
Developer (20 Oct 2009 17:02:04): and when i m logged in with it, I added it yesterday and now it's gone
Developer (20 Oct 2009 17:03:02): i ll try using other users
TR (20 Oct 2009 17:16:21): You didn't tell me that you had created these users. The database is refreshed every night back to the baseline...as we discussed
TR (20 Oct 2009 17:16:21): If you add data you have to let me know and I will create a new baseline.
TR (21 Oct 2009 16:08:49): These users that you need. Are they in the database now?
Developer (21 Oct 2009 16:09:02): not yet
Developer (21 Oct 2009 16:09:07): but i can ping them to you
Developer (21 Oct 2009 16:09:12): at least the login
TR (21 Oct 2009 16:09:19): You don't need to ping them to me. Just tell me when they're created
Developer (21 Oct 2009 16:09:25): ok
Developer (21 Oct 2009 16:09:52): but got too much to do today probably will have them ready monday morning
TR (21 Oct 2009 16:10:20): Ok, so as per last time....when they are created please let me know.
Developer (21 Oct 2009 16:10:30): ok
Developer (25 Oct 2009 13:18:21): hi TR
TR (25 Oct 2009 13:18:27): Hi
Developer (25 Oct 2009 13:18:31): what's time is the DB refresh taking time ?
TR (25 Oct 2009 13:18:41): 00:00GMT
Developer (25 Oct 2009 13:18:44): ok
Developer (25 Oct 2009 13:18:52): i ll ping you by the end of the day my new users
TR (25 Oct 2009 13:18:57): Ok, you don't need to ping me the users, just create them and tell me when you have done it
Developer (25 Oct 2009 13:19:01): in the mean time
Developer (25 Oct 2009 13:19:25): I'm working on a script to insert our users in the Db before each time
TR (25 Oct 2009 13:19:39): Ok, you don't need to do that, just create them and tell me when you've done it.
Developer (25 Oct 2009 13:19:48): so this will help us lot and you will be free to do your updates as you want and delete our users if you need to
TR (25 Oct 2009 13:20:02): Ok great. But the process is already working, you just have to tell me once you've created them and they will always be there
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:00:26): hi TR
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:00:34): what do i have to give you about the created users? only login
TR (25 Oct 2009 15:00:43): nothing, just tell me when you've create them.
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:00:48): or Zid, Xid...
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:00:54):
TR (25 Oct 2009 15:00:54): just tell me WHEN they are created...so I can add them to the baseline.
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:01:04): today
TR (25 Oct 2009 15:01:17): they are there now?
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:01:21): not yet, but I will create these users
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:02:07): ppm_alpha_4 ppm_alpha_5
Developer (25 Oct 2009 15:02:21): ppm_alpha_2 ppm_alpha_3 ppm_alpha_4 ppm_alpha_5

Is "Developer" the same person every time?
Yes, one guy. I might add something to make that clearer. Then if I delete these comments, this conversation will never have happened.
Is "Developer" the same person every time?
Yes. I see what you're doing.
LOL! I think I know that guy!
Head? Meet Desk.
Desk? Meet head.
Rinse and repeat.
*sigh*
I'd sure hate to have to maintain the code that they write....
Funniest thing I've read in ages!
