Yup, that's exactly how I delete reservations one a time. But here I
need to select a few thousand reservations, and I don't think this will
work:
BEGIN;
DELETE FROM note WHERE issue_id IN (SELECT issue_id FROM isuse
WHERE reservation_id IN
(select reservation_id from reservations where date > magic);
DELETE FROM isuse WHERE reservation_id IN
(select reservation_id from reservations where date > magic)
DELETE FROM reservations WHERE reservation_id IN
(select reservation_id from reservations where date > magic)
COMMIT;
I suppose I can do the subselect as a perl wrapper, but I was thinking
that maybe SQL could do it all for me....
