Need a Delete statement from two tables

Hey all,

I have two tables

Temp (ID, Name)
Solid (ID, Name)

What I am looking to do is update the Solid Table from the temp table--which I have already done.

What I want to do next is delete the records in the Temp Table that have been updated. Ie, I want to delete the records in the Temp Table where the Temp.ID=Solid.ID

Then I plan to import what is left in the temp table (those records without a matching ID) as new records in the Solid Table.

Can anyone give a statement? Something like

Delete from Temp where (Temp.ID=Solid.ID)

Thanks for any help!

create table temp(id int ,name varchar(32))

insert into temp select 1,'kk'

create table temp1(id int ,name varchar(32))

insert into temp1 select 1,'sdf'

delete temp where temp.id in (select id from temp1)

or use join

DELETE t FROM Temp t JOIN Solid s ON s.ID=t.ID
