DELETE

DELETE (short key abbreviated as DEL) is an ANSI-compliant SQL syntax operator used to delete existing records from a table. DSC supports the Teradata DELETE statement and its short key DEL. The DELETE statement that does not contain the WHERE clause is migrated to TRUNCATE in GaussDB(DWS). Use the deleteToTruncate parameter to enable or disable this behavior.

Input: DELETE

1
2
 
DEL FROM tab1
 WHERE a =10;

Output

1
2
 
DELETE FROM tab1
 WHERE a =10;

Input: DELETE without WHERE - Migrated to TRUNCATE if deletetoTruncate=TRUE

1
 
DELETE FROM ${schemaname} . "tablename" ALL;

Output

1
2
3
 
TRUNCATE
     TABLE
          ${schemaname} . "tablename";

In DELETE, the same table is used in DELETE and FROM clauses with / without WHERE clause
