Table Truncating/Emptying Script


vigiw

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was wondering if I could create a script or some sort of Cron Job to truncate every table of a database daily, at midnight (Eastern Time) each (new) day.

Does anyone have a script to do so?

The database name is vigilant_forecast

Thanks in advance. ;D

If by truncate you mean
[code]
TRUNCATE tablename
[/code]

Then you can retrieve the list of tables in the database
[code]
SHOW TABLES;
[/code]

and then iterate through the list, truncating each.
[code]
while (list($tablename) = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    mysql_query("TRUNCATE tablename");
}[/code]
