Hello,

PostgreSQL 14.4 compiled by Visual C++ build 1914, 64 bit

A bug was found in the UPDATE statement when the WHERE condition hasn't valid fields and only one valid field, the changes are applied for all rows.

Error detected using a Function with an UPDATE statement.

Hi Moisés,

Can you give a complete example of what you are describing (at least a
create table command, insert some rows and an UPDATE with the behaviour
you describe).

This is only a bug in the code you wrote, not a bug in PostgreSQL. The
code doesn’t error because it is valid.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_
PostgreSQL_report_a_column_not_found_error_when_using_
the_wrong_name_in_a_subquery.3F

(Yes, I’m assuming the problem here because you’ve filed a crappy bug
report about a query bug without providing a query).
