sql-delete

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... 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

How can I structure a mySQL query to delete a row based on the max value. I tried WHERE jobPositonId = max(jobPostionId) but got an error? Use: DELETE FROM TABLE t1 JOIN (SELECT MAX(jobPositonId) AS max_id FROM TABLE) t2 WHERE t1.jobPositonId = t2.max_id Mind that all the rows with that jobPositonId value will be removed, if there are duplicates. The stupid part about the 1093 error is that you can get around it by placing a subquery between the self reference: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE jobPositonId = (SELECT x.id FROM (SELECT MAX(t.jobPostionId) AS id FROM TABLE t) x) Explanation MySQL is only

I'm trying to delete records from one database based on a selection criteria of another. We have two tables, emailNotification which stores a list of jobs and emails. Then we have jobs. I want to clear out emailNotifications for jobs that have been closed. I found some earlier examples on Stackoverflow that lead me to this type of syntax (I was previously trying to do the join before the where). DELETE FROM emailNotification WHERE notificationId IN ( SELECT notificationId FROM emailNotification e LEFT JOIN jobs j ON j.jobId = e.jobId WHERE j.active = 1 ) I'm getting the error, you can't

There are 2 tables, spawnlist and npc , and I need to delete data from spawnlsit . npc_templateid = n.idTemplate is the only thing that "connect" the tables. I have tried this script but it doesn't work. I have tried this: DELETE s FROM spawnlist s INNER JOIN npc n ON s.npc_templateid = n.idTemplate WHERE (n.type = "monster"); Add .* to s in your first line. Try: DELETE s.* FROM spawnlist s INNER JOIN npc n ON s.npc_templateid = n.idTemplate WHERE (n.type = "monster"); If the database is InnoDB then it might be a better idea to use foreign keys and cascade on delete, this would do what you

I'm writing a script that will delete records from a number of tables, but before it deletes it must return a count for a user to confirm before committing. This is a summary of the script. BEGIN TRANSACTION SCHEDULEDELETE BEGIN TRY DELETE -- delete commands full SQL cut out DELETE -- delete commands full SQL cut out DELETE -- delete commands full SQL cut out PRINT 'X rows deleted.

END TRY BEGIN CATCH SELECT ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber, ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity, ERROR_STATE() AS ErrorState, ERROR_PROCEDURE() AS ErrorProcedure, ERROR
