the ansi syntax for delete is "delete from table where ???" You don't tell it what to delete since it will always delete whole rows. So just remove o.* .
If you are in need of setting a field to blank you'll have to use an update, not a delete. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 3:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] sql querry problem Hi there, I do have 2 tables.
