Oops!

So what is a mere developer to do when he catches his DBA or sysprog in an error?

1. Mercilessly mock him. It's payback time baby! Or,
2. Tell the sysprog that it is all your fault, that you should have known the answer yourself. Apologize for wasting his time. Or,
3. Express your astonishment that the laws of physics were changed in the last release, and there is no way on earth that anyone could have known the answer. Or,
4. Take him out for a beer. With any luck, he'll offer to pay for it. This time. The other 99% of the time the beer is on you.

Do I need to tell you what the best option is?
