delete from YourTableNameHere (where whatever conditions are met) you don't HAVE to use a 'where' clause on your delete, and apparently it doesn't matter if you don't in this specific case, but it can be *really* dangerous not to use it on 'real' data (i'm sure everyone here can attest to an accidental delete without a where clause at some point - i know i can). -----Original Message----- From: Rayna Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 3:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SQL I am trying to clear some data out of a table i created which is used in a CF application I am developing. I don't want the data in the table anymore (it's a development table so no harm if I delete the data). I know the SQL statement is Truncate to delete the data and not the table, but I can't figure out what the statement is or how it should be correctly worded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
