Deleting from multiple tables in mysql












1














I'd like to combine the following two queries. Records will always exist in the users table and the active_kpi table, but they may not exist in the recipients table. Even if records are not in the recipients table, I still want the query to delete records from the other two tables.



    $sql = "DELETE u, ak FROM users u JOIN active_kpi ak ON ak.group_id = 
u.group_id WHERE u.group_id = ?";
$stmt = $this->db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute([$group_id]);

$sql = "DELETE FROM recipients WHERE group_id = ?";
$stmt = $this->db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute([$group_id]);

          try this:



          DELETE u,ak,r
          FROM users u INNER JOIN active_kpi ak ON ak.group_id = u.group_id
          LEFT JOIN recipients r ON ak.group_id = r.group_id
          WHERE u.group_id = ?


          note that left join is used to covering rows with lack of recipients.
