Toot

Badly written DB query in an app, causes the DB to collapse if one page is hit too often with the wrong parameters.

Some crawler gets stuck in that page, hitting it repeatedly.

for $m in management_list:

[summarise the situation to $m]

"So it's caused by the bot."

"No, it's caused by a badly written query. The bot just happens to hit it a lot."

"So we block the bot."

"We can do, but we need to fix the query."

I'm now on the second round of that loop...
