Hey,

I don't clearly understand why anybody should perform DELETE
directly from a psql terminal on a production system. WHY ?
I can't understand what problem with DELETE without WHERE clause
for application developers and why DBMS should "protect" them
from DELETE FROM table.

PS. Anybody can perform rm -rf from the shell as root. So what ?..

We're talking about ad hoc queries here, entered directly through
psql or similar.
