Hello everyone,
I’m **Darshan Hiranandani** , trying to delete a row from a database but I’m not entirely sure of the correct approach. Could anyone provide suggestions on how to properly delete a specific row?
I’d appreciate any guidance, such as the SQL query to use or any other methods depending on the type of database.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards
**Darshan Hiranandani**

Good morning @darshanhiranandani23,
It’s possible to delete a table row using SQL, as under the hood a Baserow table is simply a Postgresql table, but I recommend you don’t as there can be unintended side effects.
I suggest two different, non-SQL-based, paths you can take to delete your row:
1. Using the UI, by right-clicking on a row and clicking “Delete row”, or
2. Programmatically with [using the API](https://api.baserow.io/api/redoc/#tag/Database-table-rows/operation/delete_database_table_row).
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Peter Evans
