Delete function gives me headaches ... :)

[jazztie]

I'm wondering what I should do with the delete function...

According to the book I have the syntax should be something like this:

 DELETE datapoint FROM table WHERE condition 

But what is a datapoint (of course they don't mention this in the book)... and will it delete the whole entry?
Can I add 'cascade on delete' queries into the database?

Please advise

I don't understand what you mean -- can you explain specifically what you're trying to do?

This, however, WILL delete the entire entry, all columns in the record:

DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id=5

I don't know what datapoint is ?!?

[jazztie]

So,

DELETE FROM table WHERE id=$id

should be sufficient?
