>From the manual: DELETE [LOW_PRIORITY | QUICK] FROM table_name [WHERE where_definition] [ORDER BY ...] [LIMIT rows]
Please note: there can be no SELECT clause.............. -----Original Message----- From: sunny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 8:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Why does my delete not work :( Hi all! I've got this piece of SELECT statement for MySql. SELECT * FROM messages LEFT OUTER JOIN main ON messages.topicid=main.topicid WHERE main.topicid is null; so the select statement works fine. But what I'd like to do is actually delete those rows instead. but substituting SELECT with DELETE doesn't work :( Please help! i'm pulling out my hair........ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
