Transactions are your friend here

Begin transaction;

Then

Your sql here

Double/triple check the messages/console for results. Look good?

Commit;

Worried?

Rollback;

Just be sure to mind your transaction logs for long running queries and by all things holy be sure you’re not doing this to a live db with a ton of transactions since you’re basically pausing any updates until the commit or rollback on the affected tables

Me: "Ok. What's the big deal."

Also me: "Less than a million affected. That's nothing."

Still me: "Rule 1: Never let pesky details get in the way of a funny meme."

Ultimately me: 😱😂 "That guy is in for a rough Monday!"
