Delete multiple entries from a MySQL table
To delete multiple entries from a MySQL table, use JOIN. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTabl(Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, FirstName varchar(100)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.69 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.28 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Adam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.33 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Adam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----+-----------+ | Id | FirstName | +----+-----------+ | 1 | Chris | | 2 | Bob | | 3 | Mike | | 4 | Adam | | 5 | Bob | | 6 | Adam | | 7 | Bob | | 8 | Mike | +----+-----------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to delete multiple entries −
mysql> delete DemoTable from DemoTable join DemoTable tbl on DemoTable.FirstName= tbl.FirstName where tbl.FirstName = 'Bob'; Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.15 sec)
Let us check table records once again −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----+-----------+ | Id | FirstName | +----+-----------+ | 1 | Chris | | 3 | Mike | | 4 | Adam | | 6 | Adam | | 8 | Mike | +----+-----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
