How to delete all the rows from a table? #321

Closed itsdarrylnorris closed 3 years ago

itsdarrylnorris commented 4 years ago

How can I wipe an entire table with a single command? Using BatchWrite?

akleiber commented 3 years ago

you can't - the easiest and cheapest way to do this is to delete the whole table and create a new one.

akleiber commented 3 years ago

if you want to do this without table deletion you have to scan the table and delete the records that are returned

Thanks @akleiber , I ended up adding an expiring time to each row, and use the update command to either add/update, and a combination of both of these things fixed my problem.
