DELETE variable-identifier-1 <...variable-identifier-n>; |
delete 3;
You can drop as many variables as you want in one DELETE statement. If you drop more than one variable, separate the identifiers with spaces, not commas.
Even if you drop a variable from the list of variables, the positional equivalents of the variables do not change. For example, if you drop the second variable, the third variable is still referenced by the number 3, not 2.
An editing statement, such as DELETE, must be specified after the database connection statements when you create and load a DBMS table. See LOAD for more information.
