FreeformQuery delete ?

Hi,
I am trying to implement a delete query using Freeform... But getting failed a lot.

My query is

delete from PERSON  where id='23';

And I had implemented like dis,

String clearSQL = "DELETE FROM PERSON WHERE ID='552'";
         FreeformQuery clearSQLQuery = new FreeformQuery(clearBookingSQL,
				connectionPool, "ID");

And within a button click event,]

clearSQLQuery.beginTransaction();
	clearSQLQuery.commit();

Not sure whether the method am using is right...pls provide me a suggestion.

Thank you,
