Deleting records, custom object
Hello all.
First off, I'm new to SF, come from a PHP/MySQL background.
I'm trying to delete some records out of a custom object, and finding it amazingly hard... as it'd take about 2 secs in something like phpMyAdmin.
There's no basic 'empty' option in the Setup
Surprised to find the Data Loader can't delete records based an an External ID, like a SKU
SOQL doesn't have a delete clause so Apex Explorer seems no help in trying to delete, maybe there's a way?
Any info/hints on how to go about emptying a custom object, and deleting specific records based on a query, would be much appreciated.
I'm not familiar with Apex classes, hoping there is some interface type method as found in phpMyAdmin, MySQL Explorer type apps,
Cheers all.
It is a two-step process, but I just use the Data Loader to run an extract/query of the records I want, then use that success.csv file to run a second data loader process for the Delete.
Thanks aalbert, I'll give that a go, cheers.
