DELETE 从指明的表里删除满足 WHERE condition (条件)的行.
如果 condition (WHERE 子句)不存在, 效果是删除表中所有行.结果是一个有效的空表.
小技巧: TRUNCATE 是一个 PostgreSQL 扩展, 它提供一个更快的从表中删除所有行的机制。
缺省时DELETE将删除所声明的表和所有它的子表的记录. 如果你希望只更新提到的表,你应该使用OLNY子句.
要对表进行修改,你必须有写权限,同样也必须有读表的权限,这样才能对符合 condition(条件) 的值进行读取操作.
删除所有电影(films)但不删除音乐(musicals):
DELETE FROM films WHERE kind <> 'Musical'; SELECT * FROM films; code | title | did | date_prod | kind | len -------+---------------------------+-----+------------+---------+------- UA501 | West Side Story | 105 | 1961-01-03 | Musical | 02:32 TC901 | The King and I | 109 | 1956-08-11 | Musical | 02:13 WD101 | Bed Knobs and Broomsticks | 111 | | Musical | 01:57 (3 rows)
清空表 films:
DELETE FROM films; SELECT * FROM films; code | title | did | date_prod | kind | len ------+-------+-----+-----------+------+----- (0 rows)
