note 50870 added to function.mysql-affected-rows

If you want to delete all in table, and get number of affected rows back use a delete statment of this form: mysql> DELETE FROM table_name WHERE 1>0; Note that this is much slower than DELETE FROM table_name with no WHERE clause, because it deletes rows one at a time.
