Question

I have a rank system set up, where 5 is admin,4 lifetime donor, 3 is donor, and 2 is advertiser, 1 is user.
I cant figure out how to flush all rows that are:
-one week old if they are user (rank:1)
-two weeks old if they are advertiser (rank:2)
-2 months old if they are donor (rank:3)

While leaving all admins and lifetime donors in the table.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

you need to place a column in the table as value datetime and use following wuery to delete the record based on condition

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test` (
`id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`rank` int(10) NOT NULL,
`timestamp` datetime NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
 )  

DElETE 
FROM test
WHERE (week( `timestamp` ) >= 1 AND Rank = 1) 
  OR (week( `timestamp` ) >= 2  AND Rank = 2) 
  OR (week( `timestamp` ) >= 4  AND Rank = 3)
