I'm using 3.23.37, and I am taking a random subset of records from a table, and putting them into another table: insert into targettable select * from sourcetable;
I then want to delete these records from the source table. I have tried various permutations of: delete from sourcetable select * from sourcetable,targettable where sourcetable.id=targettable.id; but with no luck. The archive only seems to have questions relating to multi-table deletes in v4, and there is nothing about this in the manual or in Carsten's FAQ. Is there a way of doing this?
