SQL Delete rows based on query from same table?

Question

Given this query :

SELECT cur.`id`
FROM `current` AS cur
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
    SELECT MAX(EndDay_id.id) as id, EndDay_id.server_id
    FROM current as EndDay_id
    GROUP BY server_id, gameday
    ) AS EndDay
ON cur.id = EndDay.id
WHERE EndDay.id IS null

How do I delete the rows from table 'current' whose id field is in the resultset of previous query ?

Answer 1

delete current
where id in (SELECT cur.`id`
FROM `current` AS cur
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT MAX(EndDay_id.id) as id, EndDay_id.server_id
FROM current as EndDay_id
GROUP BY server_id, gameday
) AS EndDay
ON cur.id = EndDay.id
WHERE EndDay.id IS null)

Answer 2

Try this

DELETE cur FROM `current` AS cur
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
    SELECT MAX(EndDay_id.id) as id, EndDay_id.server_id
    FROM current as EndDay_id
    GROUP BY server_id, gameday
    ) AS EndDay
ON cur.id = EndDay.id
WHERE EndDay.id IS null

I tested it and this should work: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/a47c81
