SQL: Delete data from the database

To remove data from a table, use the DELETE FROM command.

This deletes all rows:

DELETE FROM people;

You can use the WHERE clause to only remove specific rows:

DELETE FROM people WHERE name='Tony';

To delete a table instead of the data inside the table, use the DROP TABLE command:

DROP TABLE people;
