Delete with "Join" in Oracle sql Query
Solution 1
Based on the answer I linked to in my comment above, this should work:
delete from
(
select pf.* From PRODUCTFILTERS pf
where pf.id>=200
And pf.rowid in
(
Select rowid from PRODUCTFILTERS
inner join PRODUCTS on PRODUCTFILTERS.PRODUCTID = PRODUCTS.ID
And PRODUCTS.NAME= 'Mark'
)
);
or
delete from PRODUCTFILTERS where rowid in
(
select pf.rowid From PRODUCTFILTERS pf
where pf.id>=200
And pf.rowid in
(
Select PRODUCTFILTERS.rowid from PRODUCTFILTERS
inner join PRODUCTS on PRODUCTFILTERS.PRODUCTID = PRODUCTS.ID
And PRODUCTS.NAME= 'Mark'
)
);
Solution 2
Recently I learned of the following syntax:
DELETE (SELECT *
FROM productfilters pf
INNER JOIN product pr
ON pf.productid = pr.id
WHERE pf.id >= 200
AND pr.NAME = 'MARK')
I think it looks much cleaner then other proposed code.
Solution 3
Use a subquery in the where clause. For a delete query requirig a join, this example will delete rows that are unmatched in the joined table "docx_document" and that have a create date > 120 days in the "docs_documents" table.
delete from docs_documents d
where d.id in (
select a.id from docs_documents a
left join docx_document b on b.id = a.document_id
where b.id is null
and floor(sysdate - a.create_date) > 120
);

I am not deeply acquainted with Oracle Sql Queries, therefore I face a problem on deleting some rows from a table which must fulfill a constraint which includes fields of another (joining) table. In other words I want to write a query to delete rows including JOIN.
In my case I have a table
ProductFilters
and another tableProducts
joined on fieldsProductFilters.productID = Products.ID
. I want to delete the rows fromProductFilters
having anID
higher or equal to 200 and the product they refer has the name 'Mark' (name is a field in Product).I would like to be informed initially if JOIN is acceptable in a Delete Query in Oracle. If not how should I modify this Query in order to make it work, since on that form I receive an error:
DELETE From PRODUCTFILTERS pf where pf.id>=200 And pf.rowid in ( Select rowid from PRODUCTFILTERS inner join PRODUCTS on PRODUCTFILTERS.PRODUCTID = PRODUCTS.ID And PRODUCTS.NAME= 'Mark' );
