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
I resolved same error with using schema after delete:
DELETE **`schemaX`.f**
FROM `schemaX`.table1 AS f
JOIN table2 AS dsy
JOIN table3 AS ds
JOIN table4 AS dp
JOIN table5 AS dg
WHERE
dsy.f1 = f.f1
AND ds.f2 = f.f2
AND dp.f3 = f.f3
AND dg.f4 = f.f4
AND dsy.school_year = 2011
AND ds.id = 29620
AND dp.id = 14120
AND dg.grade_level = 5;
