PG.CENTER connects PostgreSQL documentation, reference, and ecosystem knowledge. Maintained by Pigsty.

Unsupported versions: 6.5
Historical version. PostgreSQL 6.5 reached end of support in June 2004. See the current manual for supported releases.

Deletions

Deletions are performed using the delete command:

DELETE FROM weather WHERE city = 'Hayward';
    
All weather recording belongs to Hayward is removed. One should be wary of queries of the form
DELETE FROM classname;
    
Without a qualification, delete will simply remove all instances of the given class, leaving it empty. The system will not request confirmation before doing this.
