postgresql/require-where-in-delete

Why this matters

A `DELETE` without `WHERE` empties the entire table — almost always a mistake. Use `TRUNCATE` if you actually mean to wipe the table.

Examples

DELETE FROM users;

DELETE FROM users WHERE id = 1;

DELETE FROM sessions WHERE expires_at < now();

Configure it

// eslint.config.js
import postgresql from "eslint-plugin-postgresql";

export default [
  {
    files: ["**/*.sql"],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: postgresql.configs.recommended.languageOptions.parser,
    },
    plugins: { postgresql },
    rules: {
      "postgresql/require-where-in-delete": "error",
    },
  },
];
