How can you delete data from a database in MariaDB?

To delete data from a MariaDB database, you can use the SQL DELETE command. You can follow these steps:

  1. Open the MariaDB client or use another tool to connect to the database.
  2. You can use the following command to switch to a specific database for selecting the data to be deleted.
  3. Switch to the database named database_name.
  4. The database_name is the name of the database from which data will be deleted.
  5. Execute a DELETE statement to remove data. Below is an example:
  6. Remove from the table any rows that meet the specified condition.
  7. The table_name refers to the name of the table from which data will be deleted, and the condition is used to specify which data should be deleted. If you want to delete all data in the entire table, you can omit the WHERE clause.
  8. Example 1: Delete data from the table that meets specific conditions.
  9. Remove rows from the table where the specified column value matches the given value.
  10. Example 2: Remove all data from the entire table.
  11. Remove all data from the table named “table_name”.
  12. After executing the DELETE statement, the data that meets the conditions will be removed.

Please ensure that you have backed up your data and truly need to delete it before proceeding with the deletion, as it is irreversible.
