I often have to delete a long list of records and given the CompID for each value which is an int value and the PK. I'm not sure how to do this as the only ways I know how aren't working. Could someone give me some pointers? Thanks

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_DeleteRetiredCompanies]

@CompID Int

AS

DELETE FROM TCompanies WHERE CompID IN (@CompID)
DELETE FROM TCompanyProfiles WHERE CompID IN (@CompID)
DELETE FROM TCEOComp WHERE CompID IN (@CompID)
DELETE FROM Relationships WHERE CompID IN (@CompID)

GO

exec sp_DeleteRetiredCompanies '12931,12845,14551'

error - interprets compID values as strings

exec sp_DeleteRetiredCompanies 12931,12845,14551

error - too many arguments specified
