Delete Many Rows from a Table Using Id in Mysql

how about using IN

DELETE FROM tableName
WHERE ID IN (1,2) -- add as many ID as you want.

if you need to keep only a few rows, consider

DELETE FROM tablename WHERE id NOT IN (5,124,221);

This will keep only some records and discard others.

Something like this might make it a bit easier, you could obviously use a script to generate this, or even excel

DELETE FROM tablename WHERE id IN (
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6
);

Others have suggested IN, this is fine. You can also use a range:

DELETE from tablename where id<254 and id>3;

If the ids to delete are contiguous.

If you have some 'condition' in your data to figure out the 254 ids, you could use:

delete from tablename
where id in 
(select id from tablename where <your-condition>)

or simply:

delete from tablename where <your-condition>

Simply hard coding the 254 values of id column would be very tough in any case.

Use IN Clause

   DELETE from tablename where id IN (1,2);

OR you can merge the use of BETWEEN and NOT IN to decrease the numbers you have to mention.

DELETE from tablename 
where (id BETWEEN 1 AND 255) 
AND (id NOT IN (254));

DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id BETWEEN 1 AND 256;

Try This.

Hope it helps:

DELETE FROM tablename 
WHERE tablename.id = ANY (SELECT id FROM tablename WHERE id = id);

DELETE FROM tablename WHERE id > 0;
OR
DELETE FROM tablename WHERE id <255;

It deletes id from 1 to 254
