Update statement makes Datagrip complain about missing WHERE clause-CodePudding

I'm playing around with a DB and I'm generating random data to test my frontend. Everytime I wish to set every row a certain way I write

UPDATE medley
SET option = true

At this point Datagrip complains about a missing WHERE clause warning me that my query will update the whole table. But that's what I want! Is there any generic WHERE clause that I can use like WHERE any?

For now I've added an ID so that I can WHERE id >= 0 but I was curious if there were any alternatives.

You can add a where clause that is always true:

UPDATE medley
  SET option = true
WHERE true;

In DataGrip, there is a settings you need to change. It will prevent you from running these queries and also show you the warning beforehand.

Unsafe query: Update statement without where clause updates all table rows

You will get the error: Error code: 1175 because you are using the safe mode.

To disable the safe mode:

toggle the option in Preferences -> SQL Editor and reconnect
