How Do I Delete a Business Entity Instance?

There are a number of ways to delete entities.

  1. Delete an instance that you have a reference to:
    
    					person.delete();
    				
  2. Delete an instance where you have only its Id:
    
    					delete(personId);
    				
  3. Delete the results of a query
    
    					Query query = createQuery("from Person person where exists ( "
    					    + " from PersonName as perName where person = perName.id.person and "
    					    + "perName.isPrimaryName = :systemBool and perName.entityName "
    					    + "like :name)");
    					 query.bindLikableString("name", "ABC", 64);
    					 query.bindBoolean("systemBool", com.splwg.base.api.datatypes.Bool.TRUE);
    					
    					 long rowsDeleted = query.delete();
