[ale] delete rows in mysql

[james.sumners at gmail.com (James Sumners)]

I guess I started down the subquery path because you were leading ;)

Let's simplify this some:

DELETE FROM  trigger USING trigger INNER JOIN trigger_group_map WHERE
trigger.trigger_id = trigger_group_map.trigger_id AND
trigger_group_map.trigger_group_id = 3;

That's essentially copied and pasted from
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/delete.html
