Prellyan Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hey there ... There seems to be a few ways to do this however i am still a little confused. I have two tables both have a common id field so to delete i thought would just be simple DELETE auctionpropertyaddressdata,auctionpropertyimages FROM auctionpropertyaddressdata JOIN auctionpropertyimages ON auctionpropertyid WHERE auctionpropertyid=%s not so ... can anyone resolve this for me? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166044-delete-from-two-2-tables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prellyan Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 that worked but it wiped out ALL records not just the selected recordID DELETE auctionpropertyaddressdata,auctionpropertyimages FROM auctionpropertyaddressdata INNER JOIN auctionpropertyimages ON auctionpropertyid WHERE auctionpropertyid=%s gives me this error Column 'auctionpropertyid' in where clause is ambiguous where just the recordID from the link is deleted not the entire set thanks for help thusfar --- i am sure we can get it sorted Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166044-delete-from-two-2-tables/#findComment-875698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
