you've to either do that or put the required values onto a temporary table and do likeDELETE tFROM YourTable tINNER JOIN TempTable tmpON tmp.field = t.nameWHERE .... any other conditions where do you got these values from? is it already present in a master table field?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |
