I want to delete the id's from types
that can't be found in types_photos
but I don't know how I can accomplish this. id_type
in types_photos
are the same as id
in types
. Here's how the table's structure looks like:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `types` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`id_user_added` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
`id_user_edited` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
`data_name` text NOT NULL,
`data_name_seo` text NOT NULL,
`data_type` enum('tag','equipment','search') NOT NULL,
`datetime_added` datetime NOT NULL,
`datetime_edited` datetime NOT NULL,
`ipaddress_added` text NOT NULL,
`ipaddress_edited` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
)
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `types_photos` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`id_user_added` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
`id_user_edited` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
`id_type` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
`id_photo` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
`datetime_added` datetime NOT NULL,
`datetime_edited` datetime NOT NULL,
`ipaddress_added` text NOT NULL,
`ipaddress_edited` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
)
So, my question is; how can I delete all id's from types
that can't be found in types_photos
?
Deleting rows based on another table. Sometimes we need to delete rows based on another table. This table might exist in the same database or not. We can use the table lookup method or SQL join to delete these rows.
To test whether a row exists in a MySQL table or not, use exists condition. The exists condition can be used with subquery. It returns true when row exists in the table, otherwise false is returned. True is represented in the form of 1 and false is represented as 0.
If you will not provide where clause with delete statement, then whole table data will be deleted. Use this very carefully to avoid any unwanted data loss. Delete From Customer; In the syntax above the deletion happens without any condition and will delete all the records of the table.
DELETE FROM types
WHERE id NOT IN (
SELECT ID FROM types_photos
)
