# ALTER TABLE … DELETE Statement {#alter-mutations}
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
ALTER TABLE [db.]table [ON CLUSTER cluster] DELETE WHERE filter_expr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Allows to delete data matching the specified filtering expression. Implemented as a [mutation](../../../sql-reference/statements/alter/index.md#mutations).
|
|

|
!!! note "Note"
|
|
The `ALTER TABLE` prefix makes this syntax different from most other systems supporting SQL. It is intended to signify that unlike similar queries in OLTP databases this is a heavy operation not designed for frequent use.
|
|
|
|
The `filter_expr` must be of type `UInt8`. The query deletes rows in the table for which this expression takes a non-zero value.
|
|
|
|
One query can contain several commands separated by commas.
|
|
|
|
The synchronicity of the query processing is defined by the [mutations_sync](../../../operations/settings/settings.md#mutations_sync) setting. By default, it is asynchronous.
