Compare two tables and delete the common rows from table 1.
MrSaoJul 23 2012 — edited Jul 24 2012Hi ,
I want to compare two tables ,
and delete the common rows from
the first table
Here is what i have done :
Create table test1(Test1C1 Number,
Test1C2 varchar2(50));
Create table test2(Test2C1 Number,
Test2C2 varchar2(50));
Insert into test1 values(1,'testdata1');
Insert into test1 values(2,'testdata2');
Insert into test1 values(3,'testdata3');
Insert into test1 values(4,'testdata4');
Insert into test1 values(5,'testdata5');
Insert into test1 values(6,'testdata6');
Insert into test1 values(7,'testdata7');
Insert into test1 values(8,'testdata8');
Insert into test1 values(9,'testdata9');
Insert into test1 values(10,'testdata10');
commit;
Insert into test2 values(1,'testdata1');
Insert into test2 values(3,'testdata3');
Insert into test2 values(5,'testdata5');
Insert into test2 values(7,'testdata7');
Insert into test2 values(9,'testdata9');
commit;
delete from test1 t1 where exists(
select * from test1
INTERSECT
select * from test2);
it deletes all the records from Table test1.
What should I modify here ? or should I write a differnet query ?
The desired contents in table test1 will be
2 testdata2
4 testdata4
6 testdata6
8 testdata8
10 testdata10
