vector
delete_all
Delete all vectors in a collection.
strata vector delete-alldb.vectors.delete_all(collection: 'str') -> 'Any'wire vector_delete_all
Deletes all vectors visible in the selected collection while preserving the collection itself.
Successful mutations return an acknowledgement of the outcome: for a state-changing write, the affected target with the mutation effect and commit facts; for mutations that produce a domain result (such as a branch or a promotion outcome), that result object.
