The DELETE statement can remove data rows that meet specified conditions.<\/p>\n<p>For example, to delete data from a row in a table, you can use the following syntax:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this case, table_name is the name of the table from which data will be deleted, and condition is a filtering criteria used to specify the data rows to be deleted. If no condition is specified, all data in the table will be deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Cassandra also supports deleting data from an entire table or specific columns using the DELETE operation. For example, to delete data from an entire table, you can use the following syntax:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>TRUNCATE table_name;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This will delete all data in the table while keeping the structure intact. If you only want to delete data from specific columns in the table, you can use the following syntax:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>UPDATE table_name SET column_name = NULL WHERE condition;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This will set the values of the specified column to NULL, essentially deleting the data in that column.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More tutorials<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/how-to-delete-elements-from-an-array-in-java\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Delete Elements from an Array in Java<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/how-can-an-oracle-tables-primary-key-be-deleted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How can an Oracle table&#8217;s primary key be deleted?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/how-can-you-change-comments-in-oracle-database\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How can you change comments in Oracle database?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/how-can-i-view-the-primary-key-of-a-table-in-oracle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How can I view the primary key of a table in Oracle?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/swipe-to-delete-and-undo-functionality-in-androids-recyclerview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swipe To Delete and Undo functionality in Android&#8217;s RecyclerView.<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deletion of data in Cassandra is achieved by using the DELETE statement in CQL (Cassandra Query Language).
