If the :ref:`active role <user_impersonation>` can delete table rows then the DELETE verb is allowed for clients. Here's an API request to delete old rows from a hypothetical logs table:
.. tabs::
.. code-block:: bash
.. code-tab:: http
DELETE /logs?time=lt.1991-08-06 HTTP/1.1
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs?time=lt.1991-08-06" -X DELETE
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs?time=lt.1991-08-06" -X DELETE
Note that it's very easy to delete the **entire table** by omitting the query parameter!
.. tabs::
.. code-block:: bash
.. code-tab:: http
DELETE /logs HTTP/1.1
.. code-tab:: bash Curl
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs" -X DELETE
curl "http://localhost:3000/logs" -X DELETE
This can happen accidentally such as by switching a request from a GET to a DELETE. To protect against accidental operations use the `pg-safeupdate <https://github.com/eradman/pg-safeupdate>`_ PostgreSQL extension. It raises an error if UPDATE or DELETE are executed without specifying conditions. To install it you can use the `PGXN <https://pgxn.org/>`_ network:
