试试下面的方法:

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

由于您正在选择多个表，要删除的表不再是明确的。您需要选择:

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

在这种情况下，table_name1和table_name2是同一个表，所以这样可以工作:

DELETE projects FROM posts INNER JOIN [...]

你甚至可以删除这两个表，如果你想:

DELETE posts, projects FROM posts INNER JOIN [...]

注意，order by和limit不适用于多表删除。

还要注意，如果你为一个表声明了别名，那么在引用该表时必须使用别名:

DELETE p FROM posts as p INNER JOIN [...]

试试下面的方法:

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

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)。

你也可以像这样使用别名，它只是在我的数据库上使用它!T是需要删除的表!

DELETE t FROM posts t
INNER JOIN projects p ON t.project_id = p.project_id
AND t.client_id = p.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
        );
