I know that this is not the perfect question for SO but this question is very important for me:

DELETE FROM `pligg_links` WHERE `link_id` > 10000

Will this query delete all entries in table pligg_links which have link_id‘s bigger than 10000?

    If you’re not sure then run a SELECT first to see what will be deleted:

    SELECT * FROM `pligg_links` WHERE `link_id` > 10000

    The rows that are returned by this query are those that will be deleted by changing SELECT * to DELETE.

    I would recommend using this technique any time you are writing a DELETE statement to prevent accidents due to typos, and especially so if recovering accidentally deleted data is time consuming.
