If you want to delete all rows from a table, you have two options:

  • Use the DELETE statement with no WHERE clause.
  • Use the TRUNCATE TABLE statement.

Here is an example of deleting all rows with a DELETE statement: 

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fyi_links
GO
4

DELETE FROM fyi_links
GO
(4 row(s) affected)

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fyi_links
GO
0
