Thanks for the reply. I understand that update against multiple tables is
non-standard. However, I think I am trying to update only one table
(events).
The equivalent of what I am trying to do is
update event set is_deleted=1 where (sid,cid) in (select
event.sid,event.cid from event join iphdr on .... where iphdr.ip_dst=XXX);
But MySQL-5.1.52 does not allow us to reference event in the in clause
So I figured using a join would be a good idea. "Get the sid,cid of
relevant events and set their is_deleted to 1"
I can't hard-code params beacuse their are over 20 searchable parameters
and they can occur in almost any combination. Probably another way (long
and not good) is to fire a query and do a
for a in result:
a.isdel = True
