Question

I have this mysql query

select 
  id,
  FROM_UNIXTIME(`placedate`) as placedate_mysqldate  
from 
  orders  HAVING placedate_mysqldate  < '2011-08-01 00:00:00' 

so the query returns about 1000 record and I want to delete it in the same query statement.

Because the placedate_mysqldate is userdefined and not exists in the database I cannot use the normal delete statement like

delete * from orders where placedate_mysql < '2011-08-01 00:00:00'

so any idea how to do that?

Answer 1

after msarchet gave me an idea the sql query was

delete from orders where FROM_UNIXTIME(placedate) < '2011-08-01 00:00:00'
