How to delete multiple rows with 2 columns as composite primary key in MySQL?

Question

My innodb table has the following structure: 4 columns (CountryID, Year, %Change, Source), with the 2 columns (CountryID, Year) as the primary key. How do I delete multiple rows other than using a for-loop to delete each row?

I'm looking for something similar to

DELETE FROM CPI   WHERE CountryID AND Year IN (('AD', 2010), ('AF', 2009), ('AG', 1992)) 

Answer 1

The answer in Oracle is:

delete from cpi  where (countryid, year) in (('AD', 2010), ('AF', 2009), ('AG', 1992)) 

It's fairly standard SQL syntax and I think MySQL is the same.
