To delete a person from the database you can use a SQL Record object (1). You just need to fill in the primary key field for the table which is 'id' (2).

sqlrecord_delete will then generate the SQL to delete the record from the database (3).

Select New Person in the UI and press the delete key or backspace key.

New Person will be removed.

When relationships exist between two tables in a database you sometimes need to delete records in other tables when deleting a record from a related table. For example, if you delete a person from the database the link between that person and any to-do items needs to be removed and vice versa. If you delete a project from the database you need to delete any related to-do items.

While some databases will take care of deleting the records for you, SQLite will not. This is where Triggers come into play. A Trigger is a way of performing operations in a database when certain events occur. If you look at the Triggers for the to-do application database you will see that there are three of them. This triggers delete to-dos when a project is deleted and remove the link between people/to-dos when either one is deleted.

You could mimic this logic in the application code but by incorporating the logic into the database you can edit records in a database manager and know that your data does not become corrupted (i.e. to-dos linked to projects that don't exist).
