Delete with Join in MySQL

Question

Here is the script to create my tables:

CREATE TABLE clients (
   client_i INT(11),
   PRIMARY KEY (client_id)
);
CREATE TABLE projects (
   project_id INT(         


        

Answer 1

I'm more used to the subquery solution to this, but I have not tried it in MySQL:

DELETE  FROM posts
WHERE   project_id IN (
            SELECT  project_id
            FROM    projects
            WHERE   client_id = :client_id
        );

Answer 2

Try this,

DELETE posts.*
FROM posts
INNER JOIN projects ON projects.project_id = posts.project_id
WHERE projects.client_id = :client_id
