How would such a thing even be possible? MySQL allows you to issue a query of the form: delete a, b from a, b, c where <join condition> But a and b in this case are TABLE names, not field names. In MySQL it is not possible to delete specific fields, you may only delete the entire row. The normal syntax of a delete command is delete from tablename where <condition>
