单表删除:

为了从posts表中删除条目:

DELETE ps 
FROM clients C 
INNER JOIN projects pj ON C.client_id = pj.client_id
INNER JOIN posts ps ON pj.project_id = ps.project_id
WHERE C.client_id = :client_id;

为了从项目表中删除条目:

DELETE pj 
FROM clients C 
INNER JOIN projects pj ON C.client_id = pj.client_id
INNER JOIN posts ps ON pj.project_id = ps.project_id
WHERE C.client_id = :client_id;

为了从clients表中删除条目:

DELETE C
FROM clients C 
INNER JOIN projects pj ON C.client_id = pj.client_id
INNER JOIN posts ps ON pj.project_id = ps.project_id
WHERE C.client_id = :client_id;

多表删除:

为了从连接的结果中删除多个表的条目，你需要指定delete后的表名为逗号分隔的列表:

假设你想要删除一个特定客户端的所有三个表(posts,projects,clients)中的条目:

DELETE C,pj,ps 
FROM clients C 
INNER JOIN projects pj ON C.client_id = pj.client_id
INNER JOIN posts ps ON pj.project_id = ps.project_id
WHERE C.client_id = :client_id

注意，你不能在需要删除的表上使用别名

DELETE tbl_pagos_activos_usuario
FROM tbl_pagos_activos_usuario, tbl_usuarios b, tbl_facturas c
Where tbl_pagos_activos_usuario.usuario=b.cedula
and tbl_pagos_activos_usuario.cod=c.cod
and tbl_pagos_activos_usuario.rif=c.identificador
and tbl_pagos_activos_usuario.usuario=c.pay_for
and tbl_pagos_activos_usuario.nconfppto=c.nconfppto
and NOT ISNULL(tbl_pagos_activos_usuario.nconfppto)
and c.estatus=50

一种解决方案是使用子查询

DELETE FROM posts WHERE post_id in (SELECT post_id FROM posts p
INNER JOIN projects prj ON p.project_id = prj.project_id 
INNER JOIN clients c on prj.client_id = c.client_id WHERE c.client_id = :client_id 
);

子查询返回需要删除的ID;所有三个表都使用连接连接，只有那些符合过滤条件的记录被删除(在你的例子中，即where子句中的client_id)。

我更习惯这个子查询解决方案，但我没有在MySQL中尝试过:

DELETE  FROM posts
WHERE   project_id IN (
            SELECT  project_id
            FROM    projects
            WHERE   client_id = :client_id
        );

你只需要指定你想要从posts表中删除条目:

DELETE posts
FROM posts
INNER JOIN projects ON projects.project_id = posts.project_id
WHERE projects.client_id = :client_id

试试这个,

DELETE posts.*
FROM posts
INNER JOIN projects ON projects.project_id = posts.project_id
WHERE projects.client_id = :client_id
