The MySQL command line client has an argument "--i-am-a-dummy" that refuses to run UPDATE and DELETE's without a WHERE clause.

More commands could use options to adjust how big guns they let you fire at your feet with...

Such options might be more appealing to users if it were named something like "--extra-safety" or "--require-where".

Humorless users can use "--safe-updates"

...which is not the default. Fuck them.
