Feature Description
Implement a safety alert feature that detects and warns users when they attempt to execute an UPDATE command without a WHERE clause, helping prevent unintended mass data updates.
Requirements
-
Alert Detection:
- Detect UPDATE commands that do not include a WHERE clause
- Exclude temporary tables from this alert check
- Parse and analyze the SQL command before execution
-
User Interaction:
- Display a warning message to the user when an unsafe UPDATE is detected
- Present a confirmation dialog with two options:
- "Yes": Proceed with the UPDATE command execution
- "No": Cancel the UPDATE command execution
-
Implementation Details:
- Add SQL parser functionality to identify UPDATE statements
- Implement logic to detect missing WHERE clauses
- Create a mechanism to identify and exclude temporary tables
- Design and implement the user confirmation dialog
- Handle the user's response appropriately (proceed or cancel)
Technical Considerations
- Ensure the alert system doesn't significantly impact query execution performance
- Implement proper error handling for edge cases
- Consider adding this as a configurable feature that can be enabled/disabled
- Handle cases where WHERE clause might be present but evaluates to always true
Acceptance Criteria
- Alert is triggered when an UPDATE command without WHERE clause is detected
- Temporary tables are successfully excluded from the check
- User confirmation dialog is displayed with "Yes" and "No" options
- Selecting "Yes" allows the command to proceed
- Selecting "No" successfully cancels the command
- Feature works consistently across different SQL dialects supported by the tool
- Proper error handling is implemented
- Code is properly documented
- Unit tests are implemented
Example Usage
-- This should trigger the alert
UPDATE users SET status = 'inactive';
-- This should NOT trigger the alert (has WHERE clause)
UPDATE users SET status = 'inactive' WHERE last_login < '2024-01-01';
-- This should NOT trigger the alert (temporary table)
UPDATE #temp_users SET status = 'inactive';
