## Description
|
|
|
|
When you perform a "DeleteAll" when there is nothing to delete, it will still perform a lock. When you for example perform a DeleteAll on an empty table, it will result in a table lock.
|
|
Therefore it's good practice to always check if the table is empty when performing a DeleteAll.
|
|
|
|
## Bad code
|
|
|
|
```al
|
|
EmptyTableWLD.SetRange(Code, 'AJ');
|
|
EmptyTableWLD.DeleteAll(true);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Good code
|
|
|
|
```al
|
|
EmptyTableWLD.SetRange(Code, 'AJ');
|
|
if not EmptyTableWLD.IsEmpty() then
|
|
EmptyTableWLD.DeleteAll(true);
|
|
```
