Used for deleting rows from a table.

   DELETE FROM table WHERE column1=value1;

or:

   DELETE FROM table WHERE column1=value1 AND column2=value2;

Notes

  • Not specifying which records to delete will result in every record being deleted
  • The same can be achieved with 'DELETED * FROM table'
  • This process cannot be undone
  • Not to be confused with DROP, for deleting columns and tables.
