NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! ??
Thanks Clayton. Actually I was much closer than I thought. I had figured out the query:
SELECT FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_type="trackback"
However, I was in the WRONG database. I had two very similar-in-name databases for two iterations of my blog on my hosting account. And so, the query didn’t turn anything up. There were no comments in that database. But it took your help and me realizing that to get this done.
Wow, what a weight that has been lifted. I was getting ready to make some popcorn and sit in front of a movie tonight deleting 250 trackbacks at a time.
Yay! Hope this helps others.
