Delete Batch

A batch of one or more objects can be deleted by issuing a DELETE command using the appropriate application and table:

DELETE /{application}/{table}

An input entity is required using the same syntax as for the Add Batch and Update Batch commands except that only the _ID field should be set for each doc group. All other field assignments are ignored. When an object is deleted that has link fields, inverse link values are fixed-up in the same request.

A 200 OK response with a batch-result group is returned with a doc element for each requested _ID. The doc element indicates if the object was actually found or not. Example:

<batch-result>

<status>OK</status>

<docs>

<doc>

<status>OK</status>

<comment>Object not found</comment>

<field name="_ID">28dj2716rgq</field>

 </doc>

</docs>

</batch-result>

Like other updates, deletes are idempotent: It is not an error to delete an already-deleted object.
