Delete query

Hi there,

 

Im trying to delete a record from one table where the id of that table is not used in the 2nd table. I can get it to work fine with a select but not as a delete:

 

SELECT *
  FROM Fleet f
LEFT JOIN Ships s ON (f.FleetID = s.FleetID)
WHERE s.FleetID IS NULL

 

This works fine but if i try to delete

 

DELETE *
  FROM Fleet f
LEFT JOIN Ships s ON (f.FleetID = s.FleetID)
WHERE s.FleetID IS NULL

 

It gives me a mysql error??

 

Any ideas??

 

Thanks :)
