I am trying to run a SQL query to delete rows with id's 163 to 265 in a table
I tried this to delete less number of rows
DELETE FROM `table` WHERE id IN (264, 265)But when it comes to delete 100's of rows at a time, Is there any query similar to above method I am also trying to use this kind of query but failed to execute it
DELETE FROM `table` WHERE id IN (SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = )Please tell me the query to do the above action...

If you need to delete based on a list, you can use IN:
DELETE FROM your_table
WHERE id IN (value1, value2, ...);If you need to delete based on the result of a query, you can also use IN:
DELETE FROM your_table
WHERE id IN (select aColumn from ...);(Notice that the subquery must return only one column)
If you need to delete based on a range of values, either you use BETWEEN or you use inequalities:
DELETE FROM your_table
WHERE id BETWEEN bottom_value AND top_value;or
DELETE FROM your_table
WHERE id >= a_value AND id <= another_value;You can use BETWEEN:
DELETE FROM table
where id between 163 and 265Please try this:
DELETE FROM `table` WHERE id >=163 and id<= 265Delete 4 to 7 ids
DELETE FROM cats
WHERE id BETWEEN 4 AND 7;By name
DELETE FROM cats
WHERE name IN ("Lucy","Stella","Max","Tiger");SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY DESCGet the range that you want to delete Ex: 3 to 10
DELETE FROM your_table WHERE id BETWEEN 3 AND 10;Make sure to add min value fist in BETWEEN Clause
CREATE PROC [dbo].[sp_DELETE_MULTI_ROW]

,@ERRFLAG CHAR(1) = '0' OUTPUT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED
DELETE tb_SampleTest WHERE CODE IN( SELECT Item.value('.', 'VARCHAR(20)') FROM @CODE.nodes('RecordList/ID') AS x(Item) )
IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0 SET @ERRFLAG = 200
SET NOCOUNT OFFGet string value delete
<RecordList> <ID>1</ID> <ID>2</ID>
</RecordList>
