I've ran an update statement like this (obviously wrong, I know!):

update my_table

where id in

in my psql client and I had a "UPDATE 4000" result but, correctly, anything was changed in my_table.

So... why pg didn't raise a warning about syntax issue?

Thank you!

P.S.
PostgreSQL 8.3.8 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2
psql 8.3.8 (Ubuntu package)

are you sure its wrong?

maybe pg looked at it like:
boolean_field = (true AND my_notes = 'something')
