RE: [PHP-DB] Combination of SQL statements invalid in MySQL?

As far as I know sub-selects are not supported in mysql. You have to make a list of item ids first and then use that list in your delete statement. ie: WHERE userid IN (list_goes_here) Matt Friedman Web Applications Developer www.SpryNewMedia.com Email: matt@SpryNewMedia.com -----Original Message----- From: Andy [mailto:news.letters@gmx.de] Sent: Thursday November 22, 2001 9:09 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Combination of SQL statements invalid in MySQL? Hi there, I am trying to do a combination of SQL statements like described in a SQL bóok. Is it possible, that mysql does not allow this syntax?
