MySQL

Delete rows in a table using Subquery

Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn how to delete rows using a subquery.  Use of subqueries is not limited to SELECT statements. We can use the subqueries to update or delete rows in a table.

Syntax

The general syntax for the SQL statement is as follows:

DELETE FROM <table_name>
WHERE <condition>
(<Sub query>)

Example

In this example, we will use the City table from the world MySQL table. We will remove all the cities from the City table that has population less than 100.

Let’s check how many Cities have population < 100 in the City table with the following query.

mysql> SELECT * FROM City WHERE Population < 100;
+——+———–+————-+————+
| ID | Name | CountryCode | Population |
+——+———–+————-+————+
| 2912 | Adamstown | PCN | 42 |
+——+———–+————-+————+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Let’s delete the city from the City table using subquery

mysql> DELETE FROM City
-> WHERE CountryCode IN
-> (SELECT c.CountryCode
-> FROM (SELECT * FROM City ) AS c
-> WHERE c.Population < 100 );

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
