"UPDATE table_name SET w = $1, x = $2, z = $4 WHERE y = $3 RETURNING *",

does not do the same as

"UPDATE table_name SET w = $1, x = $2, y = $3, z = $4 RETURNING *",

Totally right! You must set yourself up so a fool can run in prod and produce the expected result. Which is the purpose of a test env.
