Delete multiple objects from DB

[Janko]

Hi,

Is there a way of deleting multiple objects in Appery DB?

Like "delete all objects from collection X older than a certain date"?

Thanks Bye Marco.

Hi,

Do you want remove objects manually or with Backend Service?

[Janko]

HI Igor,

Actually, both are interesting to me.

Thanks.

You can delete multiple objects manually and with Backend Service.
Manualy you can create query in collection.
From app you should make a query, save result to local storage variable, and call rest service for each saved object_id .

Look at tutorial http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...

Thanks...
I suspected this ... bad news actually.. It means if i have to delete 1000 objects it will count 1000 calls to your DB.
Not really convenient...

Also as to the manual method, did iI get it right that I would have to run a query and then manually select objects in group of 5 (the pagination works in group of 5 in the User Interface ) and delete them?
Will this count transactions on the DB?

Thanks. Bye. Marco.

When working via the admin console, those requests are not counted.

I also need this functionality for a PURGE function for my app, purging old items from my collection;

official docs;

Any ETA?

Adding the remove() method would be really helpful. If you do, please allow the option to use it with no parameters, to remove all rows from a collection, as well as with a query. Thank you.
