https://github.com/eradman/pg-safeupdate requires criteria for updates and deletes, so can protect from accidental wholesale updates / deletes.

but i have not been able to install it on my windows 10 machine.

i've installed python 3.7, pgxnclient, but pgxnclient install safeupate fails

does any one know other extensions with functionalities similar to pg-safeupdate that can be installed on a windows postgresql environment?

When you say you are an "in the postgresql11 machine" does that mean you are an admin in Postgres or you're an admin as a Windows user? If the former, obviously you should get Windows admin rights. If the latter, are you running your command prompt in elevated admin mode or just regular user mode? (You should be running the cmd prompt in elevated admin mode, I think).
