Truncate MySQL Table: Keep Structure

To remove data from a table in a MySQL database while keeping the table structure intact, you can use one of the following two methods:

1. By using the TRUNCATE TABLE statement: it removes all data from a table while preserving the table structure. This command is more efficient than the DELETE FROM statement since it does not log every deleted row, but instead removes all data from the table directly.
2. Delete all data in the table named “table_name”.
3. table_name is the name of the table from which data needs to be deleted.
4. To remove data from a table, the DELETE FROM statement is used. Prior to deletion, you can specify the conditions of the rows to be deleted using the WHERE clause. If the WHERE clause is not used, the data from the entire table will be deleted. However, after using the DELETE FROM statement to remove data, the table’s indexes, triggers, and constraints will remain intact.
5. Remove all records from the table named “table_name”.
6. The table_name is the name of the table from which the data needs to be deleted.

No matter which method you use, be careful and make sure you do not accidentally delete important data. It’s best to back up your data before deleting it.
