Declaration
procedure Zap;
Description
Remove all records from the table. If a memo file is attached to the table, it is cleared as well. All indexes attached to the work area are also reset to empty.
After Zap, only the data structure remains and Eof will return True.
The table must be opened in Exclusive mode in order to perform a Zap operation.
Delphi Example
try
// Try to open table EXCLUSIVE
ApTbl.Exclusive := True;
ApTbl.Open;
except
// If failed, display message and bail out
on EDatabaseError do
begin
ShowMessage( 'Could not open ApTbl exclusively!' );
Exit;
end;
// Otherwise, remove all records in table
ApTbl.Zap;
