Well, it seems pretty weak to me for that purpose. You still trash
data, and you don't have any immediate clue as to what.
I agree, that argument is completely misconceived. If the DBA is paying
enough attention to use LIMIT, s/he should be paying enough attention
not to do damage in the first place. If that were the only argument in
its favor I'd be completely against the feature.
I don't buy the argument either; why would you put a LIMIT there and
delete one row by accident when you could put a BEGIN; in front and not
do any damage at all?
