The look of pure existential dread on the senior dev's face says everything. That "hypothetical" question is the database equivalent of asking "how do I put out this fire that I definitely didn't start?" Running an UPDATE
without a WHERE
clause is like performing surgery with a chainsaw - technically it works, but now everything's broken. The junior just casually dropped a production database nuke while trying to sound innocent. Every DBA just felt a disturbance in the force reading this. Hope they have backups... they DO have backups, right?
