third row).

Query

DELETE FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE AGE= 30;

Output: After executing this query, the EMPLOYEE table will look like:

EMP_ID EMP_NAME CITY SALARY AGE


2 Robert Austin 300000 26

3 Christian Denver 100000 42

5 Russell Los angels 200000 36

6 Marry Canada 600000 48

Delete all of the records

Delete all the row from the EMPLOYEE table. After this, no records left to display. The
EMPLOYEE table will become empty.

Syntax

DELETE * FROM table_name;


or
DELETE FROM table_name;

Query

DELETE FROM EMPLOYEE;

Output: After executing this query, the EMPLOYEE table will look like:

EMP_ID EMP_NAME CITY SALARY AGE

Note: Using the condition in the WHERE clause, we can delete single as well as multiple records. If
you want to delete all the records from the table, then you don't need to use the WHERE clause.
