        The DELETE command is used to remove records from a table. The command consists
        of the "DELETE FROM" keywords followed by the
        name of the table from which records
        are to be removed.
      </p>
      <p>
        Without a WHERE clause, all rows of the table are removed. If a WHERE clause is
        supplied, then only those rows that match the expression are removed.</p>
