Question

This select works perfect in my opinion… any suggestion??

SELECT * 
FROM  `wp_posts` ,  `wp_postmeta` 
WHERE  `post_type` =  'post'
AND post_id = ID
AND DATEDIFF( NOW( ) ,  `post_date` ) >400
AND meta_key =  "views"
AND meta_value =0;

the problem is that I don’t know how I can I do a DELETE to remove all this posts! Any helps?
Thanks

[edit, after comments – not tested, so possibly not 100% correct]

create table post_ids_to_remove (postid bigint);

insert into post_ids_to_remove (postid) values (
  SELECT post_id
      FROM  `wp_posts` ,  `wp_postmeta` 
      WHERE  `post_type` =  'post'
      AND post_id = ID
      AND DATEDIFF( NOW( ) ,  `post_date` ) >400
      AND meta_key =  "views"
      AND meta_value =0
)

delete from `wp_postmeta` where post_id in(
      SELECT postid
      FROM  `post_ids_to_remove`
);

delete from `wp_posts` where id in(
      SELECT postid
      FROM  `post_ids_to_remove`
);

drop table post_ids_to_remove;
