How could you even write a query like the one Thomas posted? It

You misunderstand me.

I mean, how can one write a query like that by mistake >
DELETE FROM <tablename> WHERE <integer>;

What would you be thinking that that ought to do?

Getting in a hurry/distracted.

I wrote out the above test case in psql and with tab completion it is easy to get to:

delete from delete_test where

and then forget the 'field =' part. Though my more common mistake along that line is:

delete from delete_test;

At any rate, if it can be done it will be done.
