From https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/workbench-faq.html#faq-workbench-delete-safe

By default, Workbench is configured to not execute DELETE or UPDATE queries that do not include a WHERE clause on a KEY column.

Such configuration prevents you from deleting or updating table mistakenly, since you are doing a batch update on data without a key.

To resolve this, as you may be already aware the following options.

1. Open your Workbench Preferences, select the SQL Editor section, and disable the following preference: "Safe Updates" - Forbid UPDATEs and DELETEs with no key in WHERE clause or no LIMIT clause.
2. Run SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0;

Answer 2

If you are using workbech, you can first execute

SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES = 0;

And then execute delete statement

If you want to still update your data with safe update on, you must retool your where clause so that it includes references to the table's primary key(s). See this page.
