multiple table delete query error

Ray
Hello all,

I am attempting to delete multiple rows from multiple tables as
follows:

DELETE FROM attachments,res ponses,response _lines WHERE attachments.id
IN(2,7,11) AND responses.attac hment_id=attach ments.id AND
response_lines. response_id=res ponses.id

The error message it returns is:

MySQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near
'responses,resp onse_lines WHERE attachments.id IN(2,7,11) AND
responses.attac hment_id=' at line 1

I have tried every construct described at
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/DELETE.html and always receive the same
error.

Any suggestions?

What version of MySQL are you using?

"The first multiple-table delete format is supported starting from MySQL
4.0.0. The second multiple-table delete format is supported starting
from MySQL 4.0.2"

Hi All. I have a routine that checks a SQL Table for all records 3 months prior to a predetermined date, then I insert them into an Archive DB then delete those records from the original table. When I do a "select" for the records, I load them into a dataset, use an "insert" statement to insert the info into the second table (by a for next loop and using executenonquery , then a "delete" statement to remove them.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
