The Delete all data from a database tool in the Control Panel allows you to delete all records in a database without deleting the structure of the database. This tool is useful when you wish to refresh a centrally used database with new data content from an external source. For example, maybe your database contains a customer list that comes from an accounting system. Periodically, you have the accounting system generate an up-to-date list so you can upload it to HostedDatabase.com. Using this tool, you can clear the way for the new list.

Clicking on the Delete all data from a database tool in the Manage Databases section of the Control Panel, you see a pull-down list containing the names of all databases defined for your account. Select the database to delete data from the list, and click the Delete button. You'll be prompted to confirm the delete process, and if you click on the DELETE all data button, the data records are purged from the database.
