delete from table1,table2,table3 where?

Question

If all tables I want to delete from have the column gamer_id

can i do a delete from table1, table2, table3 where gamer_id = 123?

or is there a different syntax?

Answer 1

MySQL supports multi-table deletes:

DELETE t1, t2, t3
  FROM TABLE_1 t1
  JOIN TABLE_2 t2 ON t2.gamer_id = t1.gamer_id
  JOIN TABLE_3 t3 ON t3.gamer_id = t1.gamer_id
 WHERE t1.gamer_id = 123
