Why is this DELETE query giving me a syntax error?
I am trying to delete rows from a table but keep getting a syntax error and I am not sure why.
This is my query: DELETE * FROM questions WHERE catid = '680'
This is my table structure:
id (primary key, auto increment)
question
catid
ordering
With above query I get this error:
There was an error running the query [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '* FROM questions WHERE catid = "680"' at line 1]
There are two rows in the table, one with catid = 680 and 679.

If you do aDELETE
join, then aliases can appear after delete.
