Table1 contains the fields 'user_id' and 'sample_date'.
Table2 contains the fields 'user_id', 'sample_date', and 'status'.
I want to delete the records in Table1 where 'user_id' and 'sample_date' match the 'user_id' and 'sample_date' of records in Table2 with a certain 'status'.
Can someone help me out with the syntax for this.
Thanks,

something like this should work:

delete table_1
where (user_id, sample_date) in (
select user_id, sample_date
from table_2
where status = 'MY_VALUE')
