Do you want to delete the oldest record for a given userid (many answers provided) or the oldest record for each userid (a little more work)?

Hi,

Can anyone help me with this delete statement?

I have the following table:

 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- -------------
 USER_ID                                   NOT NULL NUMBER(15)
 PASSWORD                                           VARCHAR2(30)
 CREATED                                            DATE

What I need to do is delete the oldest record for a particular user_id. And its doing my head in. Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve.
