I always run my queries in a script that will automatically rollback if the number of rows changed isn't one. If I have to change multiple rows I should probably ask myself what am I doing.
Damn that’s a good idea. Going to write that down, put it in the to do list, and regret not dosing it.
I always start a session with disabling auto commit (note, I could add it to my settings, but then it would backfire that one time my settings don't execute, so I'm making it a habit to type it out every time, first thing I connect)
BTW: what kind of genius decides that auto commit should be enabled by default?
That's a good idea too. I'll have to look into that.
Or at least run it in the test database first.
Or run your updates/deletes as select first.
