So, in short, (since a paragraph will get confusing):

1. SELECT all records in the CDR table after a requested date (usually 24 hours).
2.  Store these records in a huge array.
3.  Find all repeats on the 'sessid' field and store this in an array.
4.  Delete all repeats (save one copy of each repeat CDR).

Is there a MySQL query, (version 3), to select all rows that have one or more matching rows on a specific field ('sessid')? This would essentially combine steps 1, 2 and 3 in one MySQL query.


I don't believe this is doable in a single query until MySQL 5.
You /might/ be able to do it in 4.1, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, not having subselects makes this sort of thing a _bit_ more complicated, if not downright impossible to do in a single query.
