Hello. I want to know how to delete specific row (/record) off my database. My teacher is a lazy \*\*\* who just makes me do stuff without explaining anything to me. As part of my task i need to delete one row. But i can’t really figure out how the whole rowid thing works. So appreciate some help. Also. I did look at previous results. But every result i found was outdated. I appreciate some help with this. ---

I used the local database for this. It’s part of my task so i can’t use something else. ---

Have you considered this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/c/5cbc6d0e908a6388f5e09b4b2fb4cf2f0b17f728.png) You will need to supply the `row id` which is as simple as a sequence number, so to delete the first row enter **1** as the `row id`. ---

Hi ray, try putting this block instead of directly putting it in the text block. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/8/88affd4c4d2699d87373d5f1efce8b6c8efa308f.png) ---
