Hi,
I am new to oracle and may be this question is easy..
I have 2 tables in which name is the primary key and in both tables, names are equal. I want to delete the
rows in both tables with certain criteria.
Ex :
Table A
Name Value
abc 5
edf 6
Table B
Name salary number
abc 10000 66
edf 11111 77
I want to delete the rows from both the tables
where Name = abc and A.value <= 5.
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks..

Hello,
first of all, check if there are constraints linking the two tables. It's possible that if you delete the record in table A, all records with the same name in table B will be deleted...
If not, then you can do it simply by using two delete statements :
delete from table A
where name = 'abc'
and value <= 5;
Use the same statement with table B afterwards.
If you want to "save" this change : commit.
Success,
epe
