The DELETE statement

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The DELETE statement removes records from a database table. DELETE statements are only possible on single tables. Support for multi-table deletes might be implemented in the future. An example delete query is given here:

DELETE AUTHOR
 WHERE ID = 100;
 
create.delete(AUTHOR)
      .where(AUTHOR.ID.eq(100))
      .execute();

The following subsections discuss the various subclauses of the DELETE statement.
