MySQL query to delete a record with the lowest ID?
To delete record with the lowest id, you can use the following syntax:
delete from yourTableName order by yourColumnName limit 1;
Let us first create a table:
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int, Name varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.75 sec)
Following is the query to insert records in the table using insert command:
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(10,'Larry'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(100,'Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(30,'Sam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(90,'Chris'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(9,'Carol'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
Following is the query to display records from the table using select command:
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output:
+------+-------+ | Id | Name | +------+-------+ | 10 | Larry | | 100 | Mike | | 30 | Sam | | 90 | Chris | | 9 | Carol | +------+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to delete record with lowest id:
mysql> delete from DemoTable order by Id limit 1; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
Let us display all records from the table to check the lowest id has been deleted or not:
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output
+------+-------+ | Id | Name | +------+-------+ | 10 | Larry | | 100 | Mike | | 30 | Sam | | 90 | Chris | +------+-------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
