@oliveiraum,

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide.

After that can you please post what actually you tried with the help of a test case and where exactly you faced the problem in achieving the result.

Where did you get this funny syntax ?

Try WHERE EXIST in Oracle 9i Or
Try MERGE in Oracle 10g.

hello!!!


IF
select NIF from APP_TMP_FVENDAS where PROCESSED_FLG = 'Y' and here exists (

SELECT NIF FROM APP_TMP_FVENDAS
)

THEN
DELETE From APP_TMP_FVENDAS_WORK

Do you mean like this?
will it erase the line from the table APP_TMP_FVENDAS_WORK if exists in APP_TMP_FVENDAS?

thanks

Where did you get this syntax ? None of the above links tells like this. You could have got lots of example if you put some effort .

See the WHERE EXISTS EXAMPLE and implement as per your requirement.

Search for the syntax of delete with exists in internet.

One example is given here:

DELETE FROM APP_TMP_FVENDAS_WORK P WHERE EXISTS
(
select NIF from APP_TMP_FVENDAS T where PROCESSED_FLG = 'Y'
and P.NIF = T.NIF
) ;


I hope this works and it's well formatted.

But do i have to make a LOOP so that he cleans all lines from the table?

I do hope you meant "to delete all the records based on the condition you supplied". Anyways you don't need any loop for that.

However, if you want to delete all the records(i.e "empty your table") remove the WHERE CLAUSE and the conditions following from your DELETE Statement. i.e

 DELETE FROM <table_name>


Hope this helps.

Jo

First point to notice ;

LOOP constructs wont Work in SQL 
LOOP Constructs work only in PL/SQL
