DELETE Statements
To delete information from a table, use DELETE statements.
DELETE Syntax
The DELETE statement requires the table name in the FROM clause and the row's primary key in the WHERE clause, as shown in the following example:
<delete_statement> ::= DELETE FROM <table_name> WHERE { Id = <expression> } [ { AND | OR } ... ]
<expression> ::=
| @ <parameter>
| ?
| <literal>
You can use the ExecuteNonQuery method to execute data manipulation commands and retrieve the number of affected rows, as shown in the following example:
C#
String connectionString = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;"; using (ZohoBooksConnection connection = new ZohoBooksConnection(connectionString)) { int rowsAffected; ZohoBooksCommand cmd = new ZohoBooksCommand("DELETE FROM INVOICES WHERE Id = @myId", connection); cmd.Parameters.Add(new ZohoBooksParameter("myId","1894553000000026007")); rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
VB.NET
Dim connectionString As [String] = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;" Using connection As New ZohoBooksConnection(connectionString) Dim rowsAffected As Integer Dim cmd As New ZohoBooksCommand("DELETE FROM INVOICES WHERE Id = @myId", connection) cmd.Parameters.Add(New ZohoBooksParameter("myId", "1894553000000026007")) rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using
