The great thing about Unix CLI or SQL syntax is that if you know what you're doing, you can get a lot done. The terrible thing about Unix and SQL is that if you don't know what you're doing, you can do a lot of damage. Unix/SQL doesn't protect you from yourself. It just assumes you know what you're doing.
