If you can retrieve the records with a select statement and get the right
ones they you can replace the select * from table_name with a delete table
name. If you can't get the select statement to retrieve the correct records
then refine your select statement until you are able to select * from
table_name where <join stmnts> and get the right record set then replace
then you will be able to delete the correct records.
