 So do you. Just an opinions.

 alleviating potential security problems. Got it. Ciao.

 This is a "security problem" only in your imagination, when you are
 careless and don't check the results of your work, so that in the end
 another website is left without tables in the database. We all make
 mistakes sometimes, the question is what we do next.

 > of course I should have been more careful.

 That's the point. End of the story.
