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))
Was it helpful?

Solution

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.
