There are several types of SQL delete statements available.

  1. Delete from: a statement to remove rows from a table.
    For example: Delete from table name where condition;
  2. DELETE is commonly used to delete individual rows. For example, you can use DELETE table name WHERE condition;
  3. TRUNCATE TABLE, deletes all rows in a table and releases the space occupied by the table.
    For example: TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;
  4. Drop Table: This deletes the entire table and its data.
    Example: DROP TABLE table name;

In this case, DELETE and TRUNCATE TABLE can be used with a WHERE clause to specify the conditions for deleting, while DROP TABLE directly deletes the entire table.
