Functions - delete()

This method removes the given record from the database.

Removing Records

OrientDB provides an SQL command called DELETEto remove records from the database. However, sometimes you may want to do something a little more dynamic than simple deletion. For instance, a conditional deletion, where the record is only removed when certain conditions in other records are met.

Bear in mind that edges and vertices require additional operations to remove. If you remove either using this method, it can lead to inconsistencies in your graph. Instead use removeVertex() and removeEdge() for these record types.

Syntax

db.delete(<rid>)

• <rid> Defines the Record ID.
