Question : delete syntax

My query is something like:

DELETE FROM #first WHERE #first.i_ID = #second.a_ID

This doesn't work because #second must be specified in the FROM clause. How do I do this?

Thanks

Answer : delete syntax

For your specific case:

DELETE #first
FROM #first, #second
WHERE #first.i_ID = #second.a_ID


The "official" syntax is:

delete [from] [[database.]owner.]{table_name |
            view_name}
   [from [[database.]owner.]{table_name | view_name}
            [, [[database.]owner.]{table_name |
            view_name}]...]
  [where search_conditions]
