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

You can use this one without hesitation.

Your query:

delete from table1 
where id in (select something from table1 where condition);

Updated query:

DELETE FROM table1 
WHERE id IN (SELECT * 
             FROM 
                 (SELECT MIN(id) FROM table1 GROUP BY Column2) x);

Here Column2 is column on which you want to find duplicate records.
