Hasin Hayder, shared with us his bad experience with CodeIgniter Open Source Framework. I understand the troubles that happened to their users database with such unexpected behavior, but it's something to learn from. Personally I will never allow updating my tables without a clear and correct where condition. Below his email :
We use CodeIgniter internally to develop our web solutions. Day before yesterday we suffered a terrible situation for an internal bug in code igniter which corrupted data inside some tables of our application database and then it took hours to find the origin of that bug, to fix it and to repair the corrupted data. Let me explain what happened.
Lets guess that we have one table named "users" with the following field
1. id 2. username 3. password 4. email
