MySQL Getting around error 1093

Question

Error 1093 states that you can\'t UPDATE or DELETE using a subquery if your subquery queries the table you are deleting from.

So you can\'t do

delete         


        

Answer 1

Currently, you cannot delete from a table and select from the same table in a subquery - details

You just cannot cannot specify target table for delete

one of my workaround : MySQL DELETE FROM with subquery as condition
