You can use thedelete() method to remove some or all records from a table in a database. The X DevAPI provides additional methods to use with thedelete() method to filter and order the records to be deleted.
The example that follows passes search conditions to thedelete() method. All records matching the condition are deleted from thecity table. In this example, one record matches the condition.
mysql-py> db.city.delete().where("Name = 'Olympia'") To delete the first record in the city table, use thelimit() method with a value of 1.
mysql-py> db.city.delete().limit(1) You can delete all records in a table. To do so, use thedelete() method without specifying a search condition.
Use care when you delete records without specifying a search condition; doing so deletes all records from the table.
Thedrop_collection() method is also used in MySQL Shell to drop a relational table from a database. For example, to drop thecitytest table from theworld_x database, issue:
mysql-py> db.drop_collection("citytest")SeeTableDeleteFunction for the full syntax definition.
SeeSection 22.4.2, “Download and Import world_x Database” for instructions to recreate the
world_xdatabase.
