I am a Linux admin with only basic knowledge in Mysql Queries
I want to delete many table entries which are ip address from my table using id,
currently i am using
DELETE from tablename where id=1; DELETE from tablename where id=2; but i have to delete 254 entries,so this method is going to take hours,how can i tell mysql to delete rows that i specify,coz i want to skip deleting some entries out of this 254.
Deleting whole table and importing needed entries is not an option.
235
We can use DELETE statement along with a WHERE clause, which identifies those multiple rows, to delete multiple rows from MySQL table.
If you want to remove more than one row or column, select a cell in each row or column you want to delete. Under Table Tools, click Layout, and then click either Delete Row or Delete Column.
There are some scenarios where you have to delete all rows from one table in one go. Click on Check all and then press Delete to do this. If there is a situation where you want to delete only one row from the selected table, then click on the Delete button to remove that particular row.
The best way is to use IN statement :
DELETE from tablename WHERE id IN (1,2,3,...,254); You can also use BETWEEN if you have consecutive IDs :
DELETE from tablename WHERE id BETWEEN 1 AND 254; You can of course limit for some IDs using other WHERE clause :
DELETE from tablename WHERE id BETWEEN 1 AND 254 AND id<>10; how about using IN
DELETE FROM tableName WHERE ID IN (1,2) -- add as many ID as you want. If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
