Hi there, i'm trying to delete the countries that I don't ship to, but the only option I see so far is a one by one delete, which will take forever. Is there a way to delete more than one country at a time? Thanks

Get the countries_id for the countries that you wish to keep or delete (whichever list is shorter).

 

Then issue the following sql command:

 

If the list is countries to delete:

delete from countries where countries_id=[first id] or countries_id=[second id] or .....

If the list is countries to keep:

delete from countries where countries_id<>[first id] or countries_id <> [second id] or .....

and that should do it for you. :)

Use PHPMyAdmin and click the SQL tab. ;)

PHPMyAdmin is an application to assist with the management of MySQL databases that is typically available from your server's control panel.

this is what I typed and it gave an error:

 

Error

 

SQL-query :

 

DELETE FROM countries where countries_id <> [38] or countries_id <> [106] or countries_id <> [213] or countries_id <> [222] or countries_id <> [223]

 

MySQL said:

 

 

You have an error in your SQL syntax near '[38] or countries_id <> [106] or countries_id <> [213] or countries_id <> [222] ' at line 1

By the way!! will they be deleted permanently? cause what I really want, is to show in my storefront only the countries that I will ship to at this time. In the future I am thinking of expanding to the other countries.

:onfire: You probably don't want to do that then. :onfire:

 

There's no gray areas with a database. Either it's there or it's not. In this case you would be deleting for good. Easy enough to add back in later on though as you expand.

DELETE FROM countries where countries_id <> 38 or countries_id <> 106 or countries_id <> 213 or countries_id <> 222 or countries_id <> 223

I have to apologize for that. :oops:

 

Your statement should have been

DELETE FROM countries where countries_id <> 38 and countries_id <> 106 and countries_id <> 213 and countries_id <> 222 and countries_id <> 223

 

Copy the following into the phpmyadmin sql tab and then execute the above statement.

INSERT INTO countries VALUES (1,'Afghanistan','AF','AFG',1),(2,'Albania','AL','ALB',1),(3,'Algeria','DZ','DZA',1),(4,'American Samoa','AS','ASM',1),(5,'Andorra','AD','AND',1),(6,'Angola','AO','AGO',1),(7,'Anguilla','AI','AIA',1),(8,'Antarctica','AQ','ATA',1),(9,'Antigua and Barbuda','AG','ATG',1),(10,'Argentina','AR','ARG',1),(11,'Armenia','AM','ARM',1),(12,'Aruba','AW','ABW',1),(13,'Australia','AU','AUS',1),(14,'Austria','AT','AUT',5),(15,'Azerbaijan','AZ','AZE',1),(16,'Bahamas','BS','BHS',1),(17,'Bahrain','BH','BHR',1),(18,'Bangladesh','BD','BGD',1),(19,'Barbados','BB','BRB',1),(20,'Belarus','BY','BLR',1),(21,'Belgium','BE','BEL',1),(22,'Belize','BZ','BLZ',1),(23,'Benin','BJ','BEN',1),(24,'Bermuda','BM','BMU',1),(25,'Bhutan','BT','BTN',1),(26,'Bolivia','BO','BOL',1),(27,'Bosnia
