MySQL get all affected rows for multiple statements in one query

Question

MySQL/PHP:

For a query with multiple statements, which deletes rows in four different tables, I want to know the combined number of affected rows. T

Answer 1

I'd be doing it like this, but, I do like to keep things simple which not everyone can appreciate ;)

$deleteContactSQL = sprintf("call cascade_delete_persons(%d,%d)", $person, $user);
$deleteContacts = mysqli_query($link, $deleteContactSQL);

drop procedure if exists cascade_delete_persons;

delimiter #

create procedure cascade_delete_persons
(
in p_pid int unsigned,
in p_oid int unsigned
)
begin

declare v_persons_count int unsigned default 0;
declare v_tabs_count int unsigned default 0;

    delete from persons where id = p_pid and owner = p_oid and userOrContact = 'contact';
    set v_persons_count = row_count();

    delete from tabs where person = p_pid and ownerIdentity = p_oid and selfOrOther = 'other';
    set v_tabs_count = row_count();

    -- etc...

    select v_persons_count as person_count, v_tabs_count as tabs_count;

end #

delimiter ;

You can use this method too if you must : http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.multi-query.php
