Re: Development question - Trigger to disallow UPDATE without WHERE clause?

If v$sql gets populated before any records are actually processed (I imagine it 
is, but a quick test will verify) & the sql_id in v$session also gets populated 
after the query has been parsed but before any rows are processed you might be 
able to do it in a before update trigger that throws an exception. You'll need 
sys_context('USERENV','SID') to join with the v$ tables.

To be honest, you'd be better off using a cluebat on the devs :)
