Greetings: Thanks to Jay from this list and doing some reading, I resolved the insert issue when trying to insert records using a select where the tables are the same.
Now I'm trying to clean up the old records, and no matter what delete statement I try, it fails: DELETE FROM Customer_Equipment, Customer WHERE SUBSTRING(Server_ID, 5,4) = Customer.User_ID; DELETE Content, Customer FROM Content, Customer WHERE SUBSTRING(Server_ID, 5,4) = Customer.User_ID; I've read http://www.mysql.com/doc/D/E/DELETE.html several times and don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here's an example with the error message: DELETE Content, Customer FROM Content, Customer WHERE SUBSTRING(Server_ID, 5,4) = Customer.User_ID; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'Content, Customer FROM Content, Customer WHERE SUBSTRING(Server_ID, 5,4) = Custo' at line 1 Thoughts on how to fix? Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
