Query for deleting templates which have a prefix "X"

is it possible to do this? thanks

i know you can do instr(), such as:

DELETE FROM table WHERE INSTR(field, 'string')

don't hold me to that, i might have the parameters backwards.

anyhow, check out the manual at http://www.mysql.com/

hmm i think this one:

[sql]DELETE FROM template WHERE template LIKE (prefix%)[/sql]

but not 100% sure, use it on your own risk ;)

i'm going to go out on a limb and say that Xenon is definitely correct...try it on a test table first though.

I think you need quotes...or if you don't you probably should anyway:
[sql]
DELETE FROM template WHERE template LIKE "prefix%"
[/sql]
For example:

Code:

mysql> select userid,username from user where username like "filburt%";

+--------+----------+

| userid | username |

+--------+----------+

|      1 | filburt1 |

+--------+----------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Still not working :( - it says the query is a success though
