"In MySQL 3.23, DELETE without a WHERE clause will return zero as the number
of affected records."

I did a select * as such:

mysql> select * from Sqs;
+-------------+---------+--------+
| RecordState | Sqs     | SqsKey |
+-------------+---------+--------+
| L           | unknown |      1 |
+-------------+---------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Then, look at the message that delete from gives me '0 rows affected'
mysql> delete from Sqs;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

However, it did indeed delete one row, since now I get an empty set when I
do a select *.

mysql> select * from Sqs;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

Anybody knows why, then, delete gave me a '0 rows affected' message instead
of saying '1 row affected'?

Mysql version 3.23.49

Regards,
Bhavin.
