I think this is a completely flawed proposal "by definition". SQL itself does not make such assumption and as a SET oriented language, never should. A SET is zero or more tuples. Would you also suggest that the PostgreSQL backend throw an ERROR if an UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE doesn't modify exactly 1 row? If not, explain why there should be a difference between SQL executed from the frontend and SQL executed by a PL/pgSQL function.

-1 from me.


+ Change all warnings into errors

I suggest being slightly more selective on that one.
