Delete selective multiple records using MySQL DELETE query
For selective multiple records, use MySQL IN(). To delete them, use MySQL DELETE. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable
(
ClientId varchar(40),
ClientName varchar(50)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('CLI-101','Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('CLI-110','Adam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('CLI-220','Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('CLI-120','Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.53 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('CLI-240','Sam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+------------+
| ClientId | ClientName |
+----------+------------+
| CLI-101 | Chris |
| CLI-110 | Adam |
| CLI-220 | Mike |
| CLI-120 | Bob |
| CLI-240 | Sam |
+----------+------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to delete selective multiple records −
mysql> delete from DemoTable where ClientId IN('CLI-101','CLI-220','CLI-240');
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.10 sec)Let us check the table records once again −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+------------+
| ClientId | ClientName |
+----------+------------+
| CLI-110 | Adam |
| CLI-120 | Bob |
+----------+------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
