oops this should have been a thread all along
Notice I said in production. I have cause issues on dev before. I have a client that has 700+ sql server databases for a single product. Used to be on only one cluster. To fix a problem across databases manually to each one would take forever. Query took 10 minutes. This was at the end of an outage that was hours and customers were on the war path. I think the non-controversial usage is dev. If it is really bad to do unscripted updates - there would not be a grid editor
