That's because the number 3 is greater than the number 2, so is always true,
and does nothing to identify the row you want to delete
You need to find something unique to identify row number 3 with, then modify
your WHERE clause to idenfity the row using that unique column, such as
'delete from mytable where rowid = 3'
This is an SQL question really - you should probably consult an SQL
reference
