"I didn't put a WHERE clause in that DELETE statement"
As a side note, DBeaver actually asks for confirmation if it thinks you are about to do something wonky. I think it's quite telling just how common this mistake is. We've all been there
Update and delete should require a where clause. You can always use true or 1 = 1, the gain from omitting it is minimal.
The fact that no DBMS ever decided to implement this, not even as an option is quite distressing.
