auto delete rows according to a date field using mysql

Question

I have a table with a field end date. I would like that all rows that contain a record in the end date field get deleted when the date is passed.

Once I have the right msyql syntax/command, I can make a cron job from it.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

or something like this:

DELETE FROM db_table WHERE end_date<NOW() AND end_date IS NOT NULL

Answer 2

DELETE FROM table WHERE end_date IS NOT NULL

end_date field must be null for those records that should not be deleted.
