DELETE
The delete command deletes rows from your table.
SYNTAX:
DELETE table_name
[WHERE search_expression]
Refer to the section on the select command for details on the
where clause. The basic difference between the select and the
delete is that with select, the rows are displayed, and with
delete, the rows are deleted. Because of this, it is a smart
idea to do a select before you do a delete so you can see the
rows that you are going to delete.
You can only delete complete rows. If you want to delete column
data within a row, use the update command.
EXAMPLES:
Delete all data from the cust table.
delete cust;
Delete customers from the cust table whose rating is less than 10.
delete cust
where rating < 10;
HOW TO RESTORE DATA YOU HAVE JUST DELETED
Type it in again!!! (Therefore be very careful when you use this
command).
