Mysql: delete rows in two tables with foreign keys

Question

I have two tables with data. I want to delete rows in both tables. But I have foreign keys between them. How can I do this?

 departure
     id    departure_d         


        

Answer 1

Please try this, hope it will help.

DELETE FROM departure, departure_time
USING departure
INNER JOIN departure_time
WHERE departure_date = '2016-09-30'
      AND departure_time.id = departure.id

Or

DELETE FROM departure, departure_time
USING departure
INNER JOIN departure_time
WHERE departure_date = '2016-09-30'
      AND departure_time.departure_id = departure.id

Or you can use ON DELETE CASCADE that will do work automatically for you .
