    Description

      Create a simple test table, and enable sql_safe_updates:

      create table t1(id int primary key, val int);
      insert into t1 values(1,1),(2,2),(3,3);
      set session sql_safe_updates=ON;
      

      DELETE without WHERE fails now, as expected:

      delete from t1;
      -- ERROR 1175 (HY000): You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table without a WHERE that uses a KEY column
      

      DELETE with a simple WHERE 1=1 also fails as expected:

      delete from t1 where 1=1;
      -- ERROR 1175 (HY000): You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table without a WHERE that uses a KEY column
      

      Now the following two queries fail, too, even though the primary key column is clearly referenced in them:

      delete from t1 where id = id;
      -- ERROR 1175 (HY000): You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table without a WHERE that uses a KEY column
       
      delete from t1 where id is not null;
      ERROR 1175 (HY000): You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table without a WHERE that uses a KEY column
      

      This one does work as expected though:

      delete from t1 where id > 0;
      -- Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.001 sec)
      

      What I assume happening here is that the optimizer already optimized "id = id" and "id IS NOT NULL" away, knowing that these will always return "true" anyway, before the SQL_SAFE_UPDATES does even kick in?
