In[1]:= Assuming[q2 \[Element] Reals,
Integrate[DiracDelta[p - q2], {p, -Infinity, Infinity}]]
Out[1]= 1
In[3]:= Integrate[DiracDelta[p - q2], {p, -Infinity, Infinity},
Assumptions -> q2 \[Element] Reals]
Out[3]= 1
In[4]:= Integrate[DiracDelta[p - q2], {p, -Infinity, Infinity},
GenerateConditions -> False]
Out[4]= 1
