Removing products and categories from the database

Below queries will definitely delete products from database but still few tables have entries for e.g. catalog_product_flat_1, catalog_product_flat_2,etc. So its not wise to delete using below queries.

Truncate products

This should remove all the products and their related records.

  1. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_bundle_option`;
  2. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_bundle_option_value`;
  3. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_bundle_selection`;
  4. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_datetime`;
  5. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_decimal`;
  6. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_gallery`;
  7. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_int`;
  8. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_media_gallery`;
  9. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_media_gallery_value`;
  10. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_text`;
  11. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_tier_price`;
  12. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity_varchar`;
  13. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_link`;
  14. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_link_attribute`;
  15. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_link_attribute_decimal`;
  16. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_link_attribute_int`;
  17. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_link_attribute_varchar`;
  18. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_link_type`;
  19. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_option`;
  20. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_option_price`;
  21. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_option_title`;
  22. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_option_type_price`;
  23. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_option_type_title`;
  24. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_option_type_value`;
  25. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_super_attribute`;
  26. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_super_attribute_label`;
  27. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_super_attribute_pricing`;
  28. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_super_link`;
  29. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_enabled_index`;
  30. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_website`;
  31. TRUNCATE TABLE `catalog_product_entity`;
  32.  
  33. TRUNCATE TABLE `cataloginventory_stock`;
  34. TRUNCATE TABLE `cataloginventory_stock_item`;
  35. TRUNCATE TABLE `cataloginventory_stock_status`;
  36.  
  37. INSERT  INTO `catalog_product_link_type`(`link_type_id`,`code`) VALUES (1,'relation'),(2,'bundle'),(3,'super'),(4,'up_sell'),(5,'cross_sell');
  38. INSERT  INTO `catalog_product_link_attribute`(`product_link_attribute_id`,`link_type_id`,`product_link_attribute_code`,`data_type`) VALUES (1,2,'qty','decimal'),(2,1,'position','int'),(3,4,'position','int'),(4,5,'position','int'),(6,1,'qty','decimal'),(7,3,'position','int'),(8,3,'qty','decimal');
  39. INSERT  INTO `cataloginventory_stock`(`stock_id`,`stock_name`) VALUES (1,'Default');

In magento 1.5 you need to add in cataloginventory_stock., I added a record with stock_id 1 and stock_name to Default. Without this there will be a foreign key constraint fail, see http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/v/viewthread/41764/#t169087for further explanation

  26. INSERT  INTO `catalog_category_entity_int`(`value_id`,`entity_type_id`,`attribute_id`,`store_id`,`entity_id`,`value`) VALUES (1,3,32,0,2,1),(2,3,36,0,2,1),(3,3,61,0,2,1),(4,3,44,0,2,NULL),(5,3,45,0,2,1),(6,3,62,0,2,1),(7,3,63,0,2,1),(8,3,64,0,2,NULL);
