Problem Description
I have two tables, one for job deadlines, one for describe a job. Each job can take a status and some statuses means the jobs' deadlines must be deleted from the other table.
I can easily `SELECT` the jobs/deadlines that meets my criteria with a `LEFT JOIN`:
SELECT * FROM `deadline`
LEFT JOIN `job` ON deadline.job_id = job.job_id
WHERE `status` = 'szamlazva'
OR `status` = 'szamlazhato'
OR `status` = 'fizetve'
OR `status` = 'szallitva'
OR `status` = 'storno'
(`status` belongs to `job` table not `deadline`)
But when I'd like to delete these rows from `deadline`, MySQL throws an error. My query is:
DELETE FROM `deadline`
LEFT JOIN `job`
ON deadline.job_id = job.job_id
WHERE `status` = 'szamlazva'
OR `status` = 'szamlazhato'
OR `status` = 'fizetve'
OR `status` = 'szallitva'
OR `status` = 'storno'
MySQL error says nothing:
>You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LEFT JOIN `job` ON deadline.job_id = job.job_id WHERE `status` = 'szaml' at line 1
How can I turn my `SELECT` into a working `DELETE` query?
