Question

I am not an expert on mysql. I have a database with over 500 tables and I want to know if there is a way search for a certain record in each table and delete it from table if it exists. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

something similar to this. make the changes as per your need.

         $tables = mysql_query('show tables', $conn);
         foreach( $acc_array as $acc)
           foreach( $tables as $v) {
           $result1 = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("select account_num from $v where account_num = '$acc'" , $conn));
          if( !empty($result1) )
            $result2 = mysql_query("delete from $v where account_num = '$acc'" , $conn);
         }
