My first SQL query broke the entire production database on a Friday

I was learning joins at 4pm and accidentally dropped a customer table instead of my test one. Had to call my senior dev in a panic while 50 users were locked out - how do you guys practice safely without risking real data?

Read that using a local copy of your database is the only way to avoid this.
