MySQL Data Cleanup Methods
There are several methods to clean up MySQL database data:
- You can delete specific data from a table by using the DELETE statement. For example: DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;
- The TRUNCATE TABLE statement can quickly delete all data in a table, but it will also reset any auto-incremented IDs. For example: TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;
- By using the DROP TABLE statement, you can delete the entire table along with all of its data. For example: DROP TABLE table_name;
- The DROP DATABASE statement is used to delete an entire database, including all tables and data within the database. For example: DROP DATABASE database_name;
- External tools can also be used, such as MySQL Workbench and phpMyAdmin, to clean up database data, providing more visual operations and management functions.
