We have 3 tables (table1, table2, table3), and I need to delete all the rows from table1 that have the same ID in table2 OR table3. To see a list of all of these rows I have this code:
(
select
table2.ID,
table2.name_first,
table2.name_last,
table2.Collected
from
table2
inner join
table1
on
table1.ID = table2.ID
where
table2.Collected = 'Y'
)
union
(
select
table3.ID,
table3.name_first,
table3.name_last,
table3.Collected
from
table3
inner join
table1
on
table1.ID = table3.ID
where
table3.Collected = 'Y'
)
I get back about 200 rows. How do I delete them from table1? I don't have a way to test if my query will work, so I'm nervous about modifying something I found online and potentially deleting data (we do have backups, but I'd rather not test out their integrity).
TIA!
