In QuestDb Update and Delete statement are not supported. At least now. The ways to delete data are: - Drop a partition - Write a copy of the table without the rows you want to delete, drop table and then rename the table to the one you wanted. Something like `Create table mytablecopy AS ( SELECT * FROM mytable where columnvalue != 2 ) Timstamp(...) PARTITION BY ...; DROP TABLE mytable; RENAME table mytablecopy TO mytable; ` These are costly workarounds for exceptional cases.

Context: Stack Overflow #65976247 (accepted answer, 10 votes): is there a way to delete a view rows matching a query in QuestDB? I can't find any statement allowing me that. This would be the best option: `delete from mytable where columnvalue==2; ` Thanks!
