This looks painful ...

DELETE FROM webhit_referer_raw
WHERE oid IN ( SELECT w.oid
FROM webhit_referer_raw w, referrer_data r
WHERE stat_date < 'Jan 17 2000 15:05:00'
AND w.referrer_url = r.referrer );

But, reading through the man page, it looks like this about the only way
of doing it? Or am I missing something as obvious as the UPDATE I asked
about the other day? :(
