You can't specify target table 'A' for update in FROM clause

Question

This is my request

> DELETE FROM A WHERE id in (    Select
> id From A    Left Join B on A.id=B.id 
> Where B.id is null )

When I execute this I have this error

You can't specify target table 'A' for update in FROM clause

Answer 1

Maybe you could do it like this instead?

DELETE FROM A WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT B.id FROM B);
