We can use DELETE statement along with a WHERE clause, which identifies those multiple rows, to delete multiple rows from MySQL table.
Example
mysql> Select * from names; +------+-----------+ | id | name | +------+-----------+ | 1 | Rahul | | 2 | Gaurav | | 3 | Raman | | 5 | Ram | +------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> DELETE from names WHERE id > 2; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.04 sec)
The query above will delete multiple rows because WHERE clause identify two rows having id > 2 from table ‘names’.
mysql> Select * from names; +------+-----------+ | id | name | +------+-----------+ | 1 | Rahul | | 2 | Gaurav | +------+-----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
