How to empty a table’s data using SQL?

You can use the DELETE statement or TRUNCATE statement to empty the table’s data.

1. Use the DELETE statement:
2. Delete from table;
3. This will delete all data in the table while preserving the table structure.
4. Use the TRUNCATE statement.
5. Clear the data in the specified table.
6. This will delete all data in the table and reset the auto-increment ID, essentially returning the table to its initial state. Compared to the DELETE statement, TRUNCATE is typically faster and more efficient.

Whether you use DELETE or TRUNCATE, be cautious as they will permanently delete the data in the table, making it irrecoverable. Make sure to backup the data in the table before performing these operations.
