yes, sorry. my intention is to delete repeated rows from TABLE1. and since its a bit difficult with mysql the way that i take is create a new table TABLE2 with the repeated rows (but not repeated in TABLE2), and then i want to delete from TABLE1 all the rows which also are in TABLE2. later on, i INSERT again the values from TABLE2 to TABLE1.
i have mysql version 3.22 thanks On Tue, 14 Oct 2003, Director General: NEFACOMP wrote: > I think the question is not very clear. > Do you want to delete from all the tables or you just want to delete from > one of the tables? > Does your MySQL version support sub-queries?
