How can we delete multiple rows from a MySQL table?
We can use DELETE statement along with a WHERE clause, which identifies those multiple rows, to delete multiple rows from MySQL table.
Example
mysql> Select * from names;
+------+-----------+
| id | name |
+------+-----------+
| 1 | Rahul |
| 2 | Gaurav |
| 3 | Raman |
| 5 | Ram |
+------+-----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> DELETE from names WHERE id > 2;
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.04 sec)
The query above will delete multiple rows because WHERE clause identify two rows having id > 2 from table ‘names’.
mysql> Select * from names;
+------+-----------+
| id | name |
+------+-----------+
| 1 | Rahul |
| 2 | Gaurav |
+------+-----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
