16.10.3. ndb_delete_all — Delete All Rows from NDB Table

ndb_delete_all deletes all rows from the given NDB table. In some cases, this can be much faster than DELETE or even TRUNCATE.

Usage: 

ndb_delete_all -c connect_string tbl_name -d db_name

This deletes all rows from the table named tbl_name in the database named db_name. It is exactly equivalent to executing TRUNCATE db_name.tbl_name in MySQL.

Additional Options:

  • --transactional, -t

    Use of this option causes the delete operation to be performed as a single transaction.

    Warning

    With very large tables, using this option may cause the number of operations available to the cluster to be exceeded.
