Prepared Delete Statement with Subquery in mysql table


BuildMyWeb

Recommended Posts

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();

 

 

mysqli_stmt::bind_param -- mysqli_stmt_bind_paramBinds 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)');
