Truncate All Rows
Given a postgres database, if you want to delete all rows in a table, you
can use the DELETE query without any conditions.
> delete from pokemons;
DELETE 151
Though DELETE can do the job, if you really are deleting all rows to clear
out a table, you are better off using TRUNCATE. A TRUNCATE query will be
faster than a DELETE query because it will just delete the rows without
scanning them as it goes.
> truncate pokemons;
TRUNCATE TABLE
