Syntax error Delete URLs with specific domains from MySQL database?

Delete URLs with specific domains from MySQL database?



To delete URLs with specific domains, use DELETE and LIKE clause.

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1361
    -> (
    -> URL text
    -> ) ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1361 values('Https://www.google.com//?id=1');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1361 values('Https://www.facebook.com//?id=2&name=John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1361 values('Https://www.yahoo.com//?id=3');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.31 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1361 values('Https://www.google.com//?id=1');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1361;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------------------------------------+
| URL                                       |
+-------------------------------------------+
| Https://www.google.com//?id=1             |
| Https://www.facebook.com//?id=2&name=John |
| Https://www.yahoo.com//?id=3              |
| Https://www.google.com//?id=1             |
+-------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to delete URLs with specific domains from MySQL database −

mysql> delete from DemoTable1361 where URL LIKE '%Https://www.google.com%';
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.17 sec)

Let us check the table records once again −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1361;

This will produce the following output −

+-------------------------------------------+
| URL                                       |
+-------------------------------------------+
| Https://www.facebook.com//?id=2&name=John |
| Https://www.yahoo.com//?id=3              |
+-------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
