# ndb\_delete\_all(1)

delete all rows from NDB table

## NAME

ndb\_delete\_all - delete all rows from NDB table

## SYNOPSIS

**ndb\_delete\_all** *options*

## DESCRIPTION

**ndb\_delete\_all** deletes all rows from the given NDB table. In some cases, this can be much faster than DELETE or even TRUNCATE.

**Usage**:

```
ndb_delete_all -c connect_string tbl_name -d db_name
```

This deletes all rows from the table named *tbl\_name* in the database named *db\_name*. It is exactly equivalent to executing TRUNCATE *db\_name*.*tbl\_name* in MySQL.

**Additional Options**:

- •

  **--transactional**, **-t**

  Use of this option causes the delete operation to be performed as a single transaction.

  **Warning** With very large tables, using this option may cause the number of operations available to the cluster to be exceeded.
