Not surprisingly, I'm still confused. Could you hold my hand? Here's what I've got --
This is my table -- CREATE TABLE churchmail ( email varchar(30) NOT NULL ); It has one field containing 40,000 email addresses. I have a text file -- remove.txt, which contains 1,500 email addresses which need to be removed from the churchmail table. The database is named midtn. I think it's the two WHERE clauses that are throwing me. Whatever it is, I remain stuck, and would appreciate assistance. I'd like to do this on the command line, no PHP.
