DELETE Statements

To delete information from a table, use DELETE statements.

DELETE Syntax

The DELETE statement requires the table name in the FROM clause and the row’s primary key in the WHERE clause, as shown in the following example:

<delete_statement> ::= DELETE FROM <table_name> WHERE { Id = <expression> } [ { AND | OR } ... ]
 
<expression> ::=
  | @ <parameter>
  | ?
  | <literal>

The following is an example query:

DELETE FROM Orders WHERE Id = @myId
