deleteToken()

deleteToken() deletes a token and its corresponding ciphertext from the token vault.

!!! note
    This method is overloaded to handle string and string arrays, and to account for the optional customData parameter.

Syntax

public void deleteToken (string token, string table)
public void deleteToken (string[] tokens, string table)

Note

If your application calls insert(), get(), deleteToken(), or deleteValue() within a loop, make sure that it starts the token service outside of the loop. See Sample: Starting the Token Service Outside of the Loop.

Request Parameters

Exception

Passes an exception if:

• A table is missing.

• A token is null or invalid.

• The token and customData arrays do not have the same number of elements.

• A customData element is too long.

Example

deleteToken("5541997351273456", "CREDIT_CARD_NUMBERS")

The method creates the SQL statement, which deletes the appropriate row from the token vault, and then executes the SQL statement.
