`delete()`

Description

Deletes the object, which means the row is deleted from the database (unless prevented by a beforeDelete callback). Returns true on successful deletion of the row, false otherwise.

Function Syntax

delete([ parameterize ])

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`parameterize`	`any`	No	`true`	Accepts a boolean value or a string. Set to `true` to use `cfqueryparam` on all columns or pass in a list of property names to use `cfqueryparam` on those only.

Examples

<!--- Get a post object and then delete it from the database --->
<cfset aPost = model("post").findByKey(33)>
<cfset aPost.delete()>

<!--- If you have a `hasMany` association setup from `post` to `comment` you can do a scoped call (the `deleteComment` method below will call `aComment.delete()` internally) --->
<cfset aPost = model("post").findByKey(params.postId)>
<cfset aComment = model("comment").findByKey(params.commentId)>
<cfset aPost.deleteComment(aComment)>
