Specified Twice Table for 'DELETE' in MariaDB - sql

Question

I created a query to delete some record in MariaDB
Query :
DELETE
FROM
HrAttLogsFormatted
WHERE
DateIn = '2019-04-10'
AND Late != ''
AND ( FingerId, CreatedDate ) IN (
SELECT
FingerId,
MAX( CreatedDate )
FROM
HrAttLogsFormatted
WHERE
DateIn = '2019-04-10'
AND Late != ''
AND FingerId IN ( SELECT FingerId FROM HrAttLogsFormatted WHERE DateIn = '2019-04-10' AND Late != '' GROUP BY FingerId HAVING COUNT( FingerId ) > 1 )
GROUP BY
FingerId
)
Result :
Table 'HrAttLogsFormatted' is specified twice, both as a target for
'DELETE' and as a separate surce for data
But with the query I made unsuccessfully, is there a way to solve it?
Thank you in advance
[EDIT-SOLVED] It's Solved with simply apply and query
DELETE t1
FROM HrAttLogsFormatted t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT FingerId, MinCreatedDate
FROM
(
SELECT FingerId, MIN(CreatedDate) AS MinCreatedDate
FROM HrAttLogsFormatted
WHERE DateIn = '2019-05-03' AND Late != ''
GROUP BY FingerId HAVING COUNT(FingerId) > 1
) x
) t2
ON t1.FingerId = t2.FingerId AND t1.CreatedDate = t2.MinCreatedDate;

Answer 1

I would try writing this as a delete join:
DELETE t1
FROM HrAttLogsFormatted t1
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT FingerId, MIN(CreatedDate) AS MinCreatedDate
FROM HrAttLogsFormatted
WHERE DateIn = '2019-04-10' AND Late != ''
GROUP BY FingerId
HAVING COUNT(FingerId) > 1
) t2
ON t1.FingerId = t2.FingerId AND t1.CreatedDate = t2.MinCreatedDate;
If you really wanted to stick with your current query, you might be able to make it work by adding an additional subquery around the WHERE IN clause:
AND (FingerId, CreatedDate) IN (
SELECT FingerId, MinCreatedDate
FROM
(
SELECT FingerId, MIN(CreatedDate) AS MinCreatedDate
FROM HrAttLogsFormatted
...
) x )
But, I would use the version I gave, because it is simpler.
