    Please share a (real) story of how you or your company detected data breach. After all, we are supposed to be the guardian of our precious data. Thanks.

    I'd be surprised if anyone answered this request with an actual example.  If it happened to someone, they're already embarrassed enough.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Although I think I should be responsible for data security, I am not being charged with security side of things at all at work. So I can't help but think, how do I know that my data is not being stolen right now? How do I know that our web site is not being used by hackers to siphon data directly out of my database. Hence the question.

    I retract my request for 'real' story. Any story would do. In The Tao of Network Security Monitoring, author Richard Bejtlich told a story about detecting intrusion accidentally when the sound of web mp3 music became choppy while he was at work. It was a fansinating story. So I wonder if I would hear similar ones here from the DBA crowd.
