(def-view-class tab () 
  ((a :initarg :a :type integer :db-kind :key) 
   (b :initarg :b :type string)))
=> #<Standard-Db-Class TAB {49B01845}>
(create-view-from-class 'tab)

(defvar obj (let ((*db-auto-sync* t))
              (make-instance 'tab :a 5 :b "the string")))
=> OBJ
(start-sql-recording :type :both)

Side Effects

Deletes data from the SQL database.

Affected by

Permissions granted by the SQL database to the user in the database connection.

Exceptional Situations

An exception may be signaled if the database connection user does not have sufficient privileges to modify the database. An error of type sql-database-error is signalled if object is not associated with an active database.

Notes

Instances are referenced in the database by values stored in the key slots. If delete-records-from-instance is called with an instance of a class that does not contain any keys, then all records in that table will be deleted.
