There are two methods to clear data from a SQL Server database.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Delete all data using the DELETE statement.<\/li>\n
  2. Delete from table name.<\/li>\n
  3. For example, to delete the data in a table named “Customers,” you can use the following statement:<\/li>\n
  4. Remove the data from the Customers table.<\/li>\n
  5. Truncate the table using the TRUNCATE TABLE statement.<\/li>\n
  6. Delete all data from the table named “\u8868\u540d”.<\/li>\n
  7. The TRUNCATE TABLE statement differs from the DELETE statement in that it deletes all data from the table at once rather than row by row. This method is typically faster than using the DELETE statement. For example, to empty the “Customers” table, you can use the following statement:<\/li>\n
  8. Delete all data from the Customers table.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note that these statements will delete all data in the table, but not the table itself. If you need to delete the entire table, you can use the DROP TABLE statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
