The agent said 1 row. The database changed 340. Caught by Deedglass.

The task: “Ship order 42, but the agent’s statement loses its WHERE.” The agent is scripted; the database result is a real run on the /play store.

The run

ClaimedWhat the agent says

  1. UPDATE orders SET status = 'shipped'

“Shipped order 42. 1 row.”

1row

ProvenWhat the database committed

public.orders, 500 rows. Order 42 is outlined.

340rows

  • 340 rows changed in orders (status)
  • It ran. The tool reported 500 rows.

Doesn’t match

The agent said 1 row. The database changed 340 rows.

The hidden catch: A missing WHERE. Without a WHERE clause, an UPDATE reaches every row in the table.

In our benchmark, the same kind of case (“An UPDATE without a WHERE clause changes every row”): Deedglass stopped before it ran.
