Question

Hello I am trying to create a query that deletes all data that is recorded as being before 2012/11/10 by 30 days. I am not sure how to do this as all I can think of is

DELETE FROM fines
WHERE 
fTime < (2012-11-10, INTERVAL 30 DAY)

However this gives me error 1292 incorrect date value

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

try

DELETE FROM fines
WHERE 
fTime < ('2012-11-10' - INTERVAL 30 DAY)
