sorry if this is painfully obvious but I can't seem to figure it out...It seems to me (unless I am reading it waay wrong) that the mysql DELETE command does NOT allow you to refer to columns from other tables!
I have identified certain records to be deleted from 3 tables and created a temp table to hold the item_id's to look up and delete...BUT HOW?! Ideally it would be: DELETE FROM prod, prod_price, prod_cat WHERE temp.prod_id = prod.prod_id AND temp.prod_id = prod_price.prod_id AND temp.prod_id = prod_cat.prod_id TIA Luis ===== ---------------------------------------------------- Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
