Trouble with DELETE JOIN

DELETE FROM Books INNER JOIN (Classes, Class_Books) O开发者_如何学GoN (Books.ISBN = Class_Books.ISBN AND Class_Books.Class_ID = Classes.Class_ID AND Classes.Term_ID = 63) WHERE Year = '""'

Gives Error: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax;

Replacing DELETE with SELECT it works fine though

Try the following, which will delete records in books that have a Classes.Term_ID = 63.

DELETE b FROM Books b
    INNER JOIN Class_Books cb ON b.ISBN = cb.ISBN
    INNER JOIN Classes c ON cb.Class_ID = c.Class_ID  
WHERE Year = '""' 
  AND c.Term_ID = 63

In SQL, you say

DELETE FROM

not

DELETE * FROM

even though it's

SELECT * FROM

---

DELETE FROM Books 
WHERE ISBN IN (Select Class_Books.ISBN from Class_Books, Classes
               WHERE Class_Books.Class_ID = Classes.Class_ID 
                 AND Classes.Term_ID = 63
              )
AND Year = '""'
