The TRUNCATE statement
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Even if the TRUNCATE
statement mainly modifies data, it is generally considered to be a DDL statement. It is popular in many databases when you want to bypass constraints for table truncation. Databases may behave differently, when a truncated table is referenced by other tables. For instance, they may fail if records from a truncated table are referenced, even with ON DELETE CASCADE
clauses in place. Please, consider your database manual to learn more about its TRUNCATE
implementation.
The TRUNCATE
syntax is trivial:
create.truncate(AUTHOR).execute();
TRUNCATE
is not supported by Ingres and SQLite. jOOQ will execute a DELETE FROM AUTHOR
statement instead.
