SQL update; Bq update too many documents

[meteos77]

situation : I use BA/Discover.

1 - I scan the "Crime novel" row. 2 - "List Discover Item" button. 3 - The main table lists the scanned documents. 4 - I want to update the location to Mystery Novel (for these documents). 5 - An SQL UPDATE request is already created so I apply it. 6 - Disaster : I forgot to select the present table. 7 - BQ has placed all the documents in the database in "Crime novel".

Suggestion : Have an alert if the user doesn't select anything in the current table (forgot), BQ asks "Didn't you select anything ?" rather than applying the query to the whole database.

At the sqlite3 and psql prompts, I can delete all entries. It's my fault if I do it. If I'm the root account in Unix, I can wipe /etc. Still my fault.

If you don't select, you can specify specific items - modify the query.

There are ideas that you're going to have to actually think before executing a query. It's a custom query. New thinking. It's like when a pharmacist dispenses drugs. There are overrides in special circumstances. Or when you disengage safety for a process. There are no undos. You have to be careful. So be careful.

If I introduce a question, then it'll be displayed whenever. Are you sure? Are you really sure? Well, you see, you're in a special zone where it's assumed you have more awareness than a vegetable. Why ask?

[textbrowser]

I wish people had as much awareness as vegetables. I'm now insulting vegetables.

I like pickles :-)

The point is. The software has verification in some places and not in others? I'm sure, absolutely, that you consider it inconsistent. It isn't. It assumes you have awareness in some places and are careless in others. It kind of strokes your ego. Makes you feel understood. Gives you liberty here and warns you there. It doesn't make you a child. Respects you.

Like a big person, you'll have to think differently and assume responsibility in life.

Very interesting.

I was not 100% focused on the task because I was doing several things.

[textbrowser]

Don't cook.

[textbrowser]

Or use sharp knives. Why doesn't my knife warn me before slicing my fingers off?

[textbrowser]

And yes, I've always been grumpy. Was born that way.

Old timers. Actually even young timers. Every timer should play video games and notice how weird video games are in three-dimensional interactions. Worlds glitch. The interactions remain happy. What's the alternative to something that isn't natural to you? You make it yourself or you hate it. Too many silly criticisms of things decreases value of people and their work. Bugs are bugs. One should have introspection when visiting a garden. Just because it isn't natural doesn't mean it's not a loved garden.

[meteos77]

I would like to know the definition of "old timers for you"?

[textbrowser]

Anyone who doesn't want to learn. So you could be a toddler with the mindset of a vegetable.

There are many discussions online about how software should behave. BQ is orderly and organized. You know, I think about how I interact with it. And if I don't like it, I make optional things. Much work, organizing and orderliness and options. So I impose my biases of order and ease and I remove those biases through options.

But then come the experts of Google and Apple and MS on how software needs to look and function. From colors to shortcuts to swipes to screens to fragments to number of clicks.

So I'm like, Have you ever really created something? You like all buildings to be alike? Should we all dress in brown shirts and stomp through the streets? So my garden has weeds or the turnips are misaligned and you disapprove.

And you're (the proverbial you) like, but this is software. And my response would be life, why do we have so many pencils? They all really objectively have one purpose.

I convinced myself that vegetables have more diversity than people.

And people from the smart clubs and the general clubs adopt and worship the ideas of Google and Apple. Idolize them. F11 must do this because that is how Moses inscribed it in his commandments before he split Unix into BSD and Linux.

User experience has become ordained religion and my God is better than your God. If your software is orderly and there are signs of intelligence behind it, great. It's good. It has purpose and meaning. If it doesn't someone will love it regardless.

Bumble bees appear crazy buzzing around from flower to flower. Still they fly home and return and they still know if someone visited that flower. They look crazy but they're not. Still visit ugly gardens and unnatural gardens. They have less curiosity than a vegetable person yet they're still doing their thing.

[meteos77]

It is true that nature is extraordinary and much more diverse.

Since there are personal computers, there have always been crazy fan clubs (I remember Atari/Amiga).

Brands have a vested interest in making their users captive. So the more ingrained the habits, the harder it is to change.
