# SQL Safety Rules
2
3
The worst thing an agent can do to a database is not a syntax error, which fails
4
loudly. It is an UPDATE whose WHERE clause matched every row, or a migration that took
5
an exclusive lock on the busiest table at peak traffic. These rules exist to make both
6
impossible to do by accident.

## When to use
9
10
- Any project where an agent writes SQL or schema migrations.
11
- Especially against a database with real data and real traffic.
12
- As the review standard for a migration before it is approved.
