Question

I have 2 tables which are connected by foreign keys, the fields UploadID.

I want to delete some rows from the database. I tried several SQL queries which won’t work.

Now I have this one which I think should do the trick but is get the error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near ‘,’.

DELETE 
  a, b FROM [Uploads] as a, 
  [OrderLines] as b 
  WHERE [Uploads].UploadID < 53436;

any thoughts?

Answer 1

(First off let me say I know the DB)

I know you want to delete the old uploads. Instead of doing so,, rewrite the C#/asp.NET code to show only uploads that are younger then 40 days.
