从mysql表中删除选定的行

Question

从表中删除此选择的结果的最佳方法是什么？

select id from taxon2 as a 
    where rank = 'No Taxon' and 
    (select count(*) from taxon2 as b 
     where a.id = b.parentid) = 0; 

Answer 1

这里是具有OUTER JOIN的溶液：

delete taxon2 
from taxon2 
    left join taxon2 t2 on taxon2.id = t2.parentid 
where t2.id is null;

并与NOT EXISTS：

delete from taxon2 
where rank = 'No Taxon' 
    and not exists (
     select 1 
     from (select * from taxon2) as b 
     where b.parentid=taxon2.id)
