Original source title: Safe SQL: A Seatbelt for Your Database

Extracted Preview

Note: I once watched someone run an UPDATE without a WHERE clause on a shared staging database. It wasn't intentional. It affected every row in the table. It was not a good afternoon. I built Safe SQL because the tooling around this problem is either "be more careful" or "restore from backup," and neither of those is satisfying.

The problem is old. The solutions are bad.

Every developer who works with a database long enough runs into the same category of mistake. A query that affects more rows than intended.

-- The classic: forget the WHERE clause entirely
DELETE FROM users;
