Hi,

I'm trying to delete from a table based on a foreign key from another table.
I've tried this:
DELETE FROM a
FROM a LEFT JOIN b
ON a.b = b.id
WHERE b.foo = 100

Also tried with the second FROM dropped.
All I get is a parse error:
parser: parse error at or near "JOIN" at character 11, just after first
FROM a.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
Cheers
