Title - DELETE SQL statement Tags - sqlstatements

The DELETE FROM statement deletes one or more rows from a table.

This is useful when you want to delete existing records.

Example:

DELETE FROM celebs WHERE twitter_handle IS NULL;

DELETE FROM is a clause the lets you delete rows from a table.

celebs is the name of the table you want to delete rows from.

WHERE is a clause that lets you select which rows you want to delete. In this case, the statement will delete all of the rows where the twitter_handle column IS NULL.

IS NULL is a condition in SLQ that returns true when the value is NULL and false otherwise.
