SQL - TRUNCATE CLASS

Deletes records of all clusters defined as part of the class.

By default, every class has an associated cluster with the same name. This command operates at a lower level than DELETE. This commands ignores sub-classes, (That is, their records remain in their clusters). If you want to also remove all records from the class hierarchy, you need to use the POLYMORPHIC keyword.

Truncation is not permitted on vertex or edge classes, but you can force its execution using the UNSAFE keyword. Forcing truncation is strongly discouraged, as it can leave the graph in an inconsistent state.

Syntax

TRUNCATE CLASS <class> [ POLYMORPHIC ] [ UNSAFE ]
  • <class> Defines the class you want to truncate.
  • POLYMORPHIC Defines whether the command also truncates the class hierarchy.
  • UNSAFE Defines whether the command forces truncation on vertex or edge classes, (that is, sub-classes that extend the classes V or E).

Examples

  • Remove all records of the class Profile:

    orientdb> TRUNCATE CLASS Profile
