- What's this?
delete(id_or_array)
public
Deletes the row with a primary key matching the id argument, using an SQL DELETE statement, and returns the number of rows deleted. Active Record objects are not instantiated, so the object’s callbacks are not executed, including any :dependent association options.
You can delete multiple rows at once by passing an Array of ids.
Note: Although it is often much faster than the alternative, #destroy, skipping callbacks might bypass business logic in your application that ensures referential integrity or performs other essential jobs.
Examples
# Delete a single row Todo.delete(1) # Delete multiple rows Todo.delete([2,3,4])
