Hi,

I want to delete the data from two tables by using only SQL. My first table is a parent table and second one is child. The tables have the following columns:

First Table
dataid number(4)
name varchar2(16)

Second Table
testid varchar2(16),
configid varchar2(16),
dataid number(4)

The dataid of the second table is a foreign key to the first table. I know testid value to delete the data from the second table but I can't delete the data from the first table corresponding to dataid.

Can we write any kind of SQL query or sub query that first deletes a record from the second table corresponding to testid and then delete a record from the first table corresponding to dataid.

Any suggestions/ Comments are welcome.

Thanks
