on delete sql code example

Example 1: what is delete in sql

DELETE -
-DML COMMAND
-Delete Rows from the table one by one
-We can use where clause with Delete to delete single row
-Delete is slower than truncate
-ROLLBACK is possible with DELETE

DROP-
-DDL COMMAND
-Delete the entire structure or schema
-We can't use where clause with drop
-Drop is slower than DELETE & TRUNCATE
-ROLLBACK IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH DROP

TRUNCATE-
-DDL COMMAND
-Truncate deletes rows at a one goal
-We can't use where clause with Truncate
-Truncate faster than both DELETE & DROP
-Rollback is not possible with Truncate

Example 2: mysql on delete set null

FOREIGN KEY (child_col1, child_col2, ... child_col_n)
    REFERENCES parent_table (parent_col1, parent_col2, ... parent_col_n)
    ON DELETE SET NULL
    [ ON UPDATE { NO ACTION | CASCADE | SET NULL | SET DEFAULT } ]

Example 3: delete query

public function deletedata(){	

	$this->db->where('id', 2);	
	$this->db->delete('table_name');

	}
