How do you delete a row from a table in SQL Server?

Question

Sharp GPT · Answer

To delete a row from a table in SQL Server you can use the `DELETE` statement along with a `WHERE` clause to specify the conditions for row deletion. Here is a basic example to illustrate the process: -- Deleting a row from a table in SQL Server DELETE FROM TableName WHERE Condition; In this SQL query: - `DELETE FROM TableName` indicates that you want to delete rows from the table named `TableName`. - `WHERE Condition` specifies the condition that the row must meet for it to be deleted. This clause is optional but recommended to avoid unintentionally deleting all rows in the table. For instance if you have a table named `Employees` and want to delete a row where the `EmployeeID` is 1001 you can execute the following SQL statement: DELETE FROM Employees WHERE EmployeeID = 1001; Always exercise caution when deleting data as the operation is irreversible. It's advisable to first run a `SELECT` query with the same condition to ensure you are targeting the correct row(s) before executing the `DELETE` statement.
