BuildMyWeb Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 i have a table of say 100 entries. i want to delete all but the 10 newest of those rows with a prepared statement. im fairly new with prepared statements so the syntax with a subquery is throwing me a bit. $stmt = $db_connect->prepare('DELETE FROM table WHERE owner=? AND owner NOT IN (SELECT owner FROM table ORDER BY dob DESC LIMIT 10)'); $stmt->bind_param('i', 0); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->close(); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292796-prepared-delete-statement-with-subquery-in-mysql-table/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 mysqli_stmt::bind_param -- mysqli_stmt_bind_param — Binds variables to a prepared statement as parameters As you aren't using a variable you don't need a prepared statement $db_connect->query('DELETE FROM table WHERE owner=0 AND owner NOT IN (SELECT owner FROM table ORDER BY dob DESC LIMIT 10)'); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292796-prepared-delete-statement-with-subquery-in-mysql-table/#findComment-1498075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
