I have an application that crates a users email info in MySQL every time they login into the application. The only problem is once I remove their account from the application/Linux, their user data remains in the MySQL table and will eventually clutter the database. I don't know how I should or can set something up that when I remove someone from the Linux system, I can also remove their data from MySQL.
mysql> select * from identities; +-------------+-----+----------+-----------------+--------------+-----------------------+----------+-----+------------+----------------+---------+ | identity_id | del | standard | name | organization | email | reply-to | bcc | signature | html_signature | user_id | +-------------+-----+----------+-----------------+--------------+-----------------------+----------+-----+------------+----------------+---------+ | 1 | 0 | 1 | Carlos Williams | | car...@ideorlando.org | | | -- Carlos | 0 | 1 | | 2 | 0 | 1 | carlos | | car...@ideorlando.org | | | NULL | 0 | 2 | | 3 | 0 | 1 | Carlos Williams | | car...@iamunix.com | | | Carlos | 0 | 3 | +-------------+-----+----------+-----------------+--------------+-----------------------+----------+-----+------------+----------------+---------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) Above I have connected to the database and I can see 3 users that are no longer present on the server however their user data is still stored in MySQL. How can I delete the entire row of data in the table.
