Description
Important You cannot undo deleting records.
Delete All Records attempts to lock a group of records in the found set before deleting them. If it can lock all records in the group, this script step deletes the group of records, attempts to lock the next group of records, and so on. The first time it can't lock all records in a group (for example, if a record is being edited by another user), Delete All Records stops and returns an error code (which can be captured with the Get(LastError) function).
Notes
- To delete all records in the current table, use the Show All Records script step, then use Delete All Records.
