The MySQL DELETE statement with more than one table results in an error because it is not allowed by the MySQL syntax. To delete data from multiple tables, you need to use the DELETE statement in combination with a JOIN statement. This is because deleting data from one table could have a cascading effect on other tables. A JOIN statement ensures that the data is deleted from all the tables that are linked, preventing data inconsistencies.
