New Locking tables is a bug?
“After midnight, there’s a process that marks people in the system who are not supposed to be purged before the purge takes place,” said Ray Walker, associate vice president of information technology. “Because of an error with the Oracle software, a thing called a ‘table lock’ which is not supposed to happen, that program failed and the process didn’t complete, so the process ran and purged almost every student.”

New Re: Locking tables is a bug?
So they ran one process to mark people as don't-purge. That process failed, but they just assumed it succeeded... I don't think Oracle can be blamed for that.

It's whoever decided the second process should be run without checking for proper success on the first.

Their chief tech guy got snowed by the incompetent programmer and now he's repeating stupid shit.
New In any case...
I'd rather do things the other way...

Mark people to *BE* purged. That way, if the second process runs after a failure of the first one... data won't be lost.
