Deleting links that haven't been modified
I created a site (two actually) in September of 2002 using a dmoz import. I would like to do a new dmoz import, but would like to delete first ONLY the links that were imported and never modified since import. I have an active user base now that maintains their own links, but also have hundreds of dead links. Is there a way to do a mysql search on add date=something and mod date=same something and then delete them? I can't delete all links that have never been modified, only ones added on specific dates.

Hi,

Should be simple.

SELECT MIN(ID) FROM lsql_Links;

...then, once you have that ID...

SELECT Add_Date FROM lsql_Links WHERE ID = 1234

SELECT ID,Add_Date FROM lsql_Links WHERE Add_Date = "2002-05-02" AND Mod_Date = "2002-05-02"

..and once your happy with those results, try;

DELETE FROM lsql_Links WHERE Add_Date = "2002-05-02" AND Mod_Date = "2002-05-02"

Hope that helps Smile

Cheers
