How to delete all posts from my PostgreSQL table?

I'm building a Rails app in which one of the functions is that the user can write journal entries and save them. I'd like to remove every journal entry from the respective PostgreSQL table they're in. How do I do this?

If you don't care about callbacks and just want to delete everything in the table, you can use delete_all:

JournalEntry.delete_all

If you do want callbacks executed, you can use destroy_all:

JournalEntry.destroy_all

# assuming your journal entries are a model named Entry
Entry.find(:all).each { |e| e.destroy! }

Probably not the most efficient way, but it will do what you ask.
