How to delete multiple rows in SQL where id = (x to y)

Question

I am trying to run a SQL query to delete rows with id's 163 to 265 in a table

I tried this to delete less number of rows

    DELETE FROM `table` WHERE id IN (264, 265) 

But when it comes to delete 100's of rows at a time, Is there any query similar to above method I am also trying to use this kind of query but failed to execute it

    DELETE FROM `table` WHERE id IN (SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ) 

Please tell me the query to do the above action...

Answer 1

If you need to delete based on a list, you can use IN:

DELETE FROM your_table WHERE id IN (value1, value2, ...); 

If you need to delete based on the result of a query, you can also use IN:

DELETE FROM your_table WHERE id IN (select aColumn from ...); 

(Notice that the subquery must return only one column)

If you need to delete based on a range of values, either you use BETWEEN or you use inequalities:

DELETE FROM your_table WHERE id BETWEEN bottom_value AND top_value; 

or

DELETE FROM your_table WHERE id >= a_value AND id <= another_value; 

Answer 2

You can use BETWEEN:

DELETE FROM table where id between 163 and 265
