I recently dealt with something like this. Someone ran a `delete *` statement which truncated a bunch of tables in production with critical business data. They had autocommit on in their database client. Luckily, there was a backup available which restored the data. After the analysis, it was decided to provision less privileged roles and explicitly turn off autocommit in all database clients. I am also introducing a PR workflow with static analysis that detects these issues. Nobody was fired and no names were ever mentioned in the announcements.
