我的数据库中有一个表story_category，其中包含损坏的条目。下一个查询将返回损坏的条目：
SELECT *
FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT category.id
FROM category INNER JOIN
story_category ON category_id=category.id);
我试图删除它们执行：
DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT category.id
FROM category
INNER JOIN story_category ON category_id=category.id);
但我得到了下一个错误：
#1093-不能在FROM子句中为更新指定目标表“story_category”
我如何克服这一问题？
当前回答
最近，我不得不更新同一个表中的记录，如下所示：
UPDATE skills AS s, (SELECT id FROM skills WHERE type = 'Programming') AS p
SET s.type = 'Development'
WHERE s.id = p.id;
其他回答
如果Priority列值在表中大于等于1，并且在WHERE子句中使用同一表上的子查询，以确保至少有一行包含Priority＝1（因为这是在执行更新时要检查的条件），则我会这样做：
UPDATE My_Table
SET Priority=Priority + 1
WHERE Priority >= 1
AND (SELECT TRUE FROM (SELECT * FROM My_Table WHERE Priority=1 LIMIT 1) as t);
我知道它有点难看，但它确实很好。
试试这个
DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT category.id
FROM (SELECT * FROM STORY_CATEGORY) sc;
最近，我不得不更新同一个表中的记录，如下所示：
UPDATE skills AS s, (SELECT id FROM skills WHERE type = 'Programming') AS p
SET s.type = 'Development'
WHERE s.id = p.id;
DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
SELECT cid FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT category.id AS cid FROM category INNER JOIN story_category ON category_id=category.id
) AS c
)
子查询中的内部联接是不必要的。看起来您想要删除story_category中的条目，其中category_id不在类别表中。
而不是：
DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT category.id
FROM category INNER JOIN
story_category ON category_id=category.id);
执行以下操作：
DELETE FROM story_category
WHERE category_id NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT category.id
FROM category);
