Delete all records in a table of MYSQL in phpMyAdmin

Question

You have 2 options delete and truncate :

1. delete from mytable

   This will delete all the content of the table, not reseting the autoincremental id, this process is very slow. If you want to delete specific records append a where clause at the end.

2. truncate myTable

   This will reset the table i.e. all the auto incremental fields will be reset. Its a DDL and its very fast. You cannot delete any specific record through truncate.

Go to the Sql tab run one of the below query:

delete from tableName;

Delete: will delete all rows from your table. Next insert will take next auto increment id.

or

truncate tableName;

Truncate: will also delete the rows from your table but it will start from new row with 1.

A detailed blog with example: http://sforsuresh.in/phpmyadmin-deleting-rows-mysql-table/

Go to your db -> structure and do empty in required table. See here:

Use this query:

DELETE FROM tableName;

Note: To delete some specific record you can give the condition in where clause in the query also.

OR you can use this query also:

truncate tableName;

Also remember that you should not have any relationship with other table. If there will be any foreign key constraint in the table then those record will not be deleted and will give the error.

You can delete all the rows with this command.But remember one thing that once you run truncate command you cannot rollback it.

  truncate tableName;
