Snippet: Delete rows with where clause from a mysql table

Delete rows with where clause from a mysql table

Example mysql query statement function to delete rows with a where clause from a table. Couldn't find any examples of MySQL queries using the autocode api when I wanted so made some simple examples.

const lib = require('lib')({token: process.env.STDLIB_SECRET_TOKEN});

// change table and column name values accordingly
async function deleteRows(values) {
  let query = await lib.mysql.db['@0.2.1'].query({ 
    query: 'DELETE FROM `table_name` WHERE (`column_1`,`column_2`,`column_3`,`column_4`) IN (?)',
    values: [values]
  });
  return query
};

// values you want to check where clause against to delete row from table
let values = [
  ['value_1','value_2','value_3','value_4'],
  ['value_1','value_2','value_3','value_4'],
  ['value_1','value_2','value_3','value_4'],
];

// execute
await deleteRows(values);
