Try that on linux... no, don't :)
We accidentally totally hosed a Linux system running MySQL a dozen or so
years back. Redhat, and pretty much "rpm -qa | xargs rpm -e". Totally
destroyed the ability to do anything at all on that box, of course, even
using the logged-in shell that caused the damage. We set up a new host,
replicated the running database across, and retired the original. No
down time, no data loss. :)
