The delete statement is very powerful and if not used correctly can empty the entire table. It is done by referencing a field(or several fields) that matches a value - if found it will delete the record.
Delete From TableName
Would delete all records.
Delete From TableName
Where _columnName = _value
Will delete any rows that match the condition.
