2.9. Deletions #

Rows can be removed from a table using the DELETE command. Suppose you are no longer interested in the weather of Hayward. Then you can do the following to delete those rows from the table:

DELETE FROM weather WHERE city = 'Hayward';

All weather records belonging to Hayward are removed.

SELECT * FROM weather;
 city | temp_lo | temp_hi | prcp | date
---------------+---------+---------+------+------------
 San Francisco | 46 | 50 | 0.25 | 1994年11月27日
 San Francisco | 41 | 55 | 0 | 1994年11月29日
(2 rows)

One should be wary of statements of the form

DELETE FROM tablename;

Without a qualification, DELETE will remove all rows from the given table, leaving it empty. The system will not request confirmation before doing this!
