What is the command for deleting entries in a column (keeping the rest of the row) when that column matches a particular criteria?

The following statement deletes the entire row: DELETE FROM TABLE_A
WHERE ITEM = 'criteria';

I tried this but obviously it did not work:

DELETE COLUMN_A FROM TABLE_A
WHERE ITEM = 'criteria';

can someone help ? Received on Tue Jul 02 2002 - 09:29:11 CDT
