Unknown table in MULTI DELETE

Question

This query gives me an error in MySQL 5.1.57, works in 5.1.53 though:

    DELETE f
    FROM table1 AS f
    JOIN table2 AS dsy
    JOIN table3 AS ds
    JOIN ta         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried removing all of your table alias? There is a similar solution proposed here. So the following might work:

DELETE table1
    FROM table1 
    JOIN table2 
    JOIN table3 
    JOIN table4 
    JOIN table5 
    WHERE
    table2.f1 = table1 .f1
    AND table3.f2 = table1.f2
    AND table4.f3 = table1.f3
    AND table5.f4 = table1.f4
    AND table2.school_year = 2011
    AND table3.id = 29620
    AND table4.id = 14120
    AND table5.grade_level = 5;
